Effects of Myofascial Induction Pressure Pain Threshold in Trigger Points of the Proximal Muscles of Gastrocnemius

Mayuben Private Clinic13 enrolled

Overview

In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique in the muscles close to the application in the gastrocnemius muscle.

In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique on nearby muscles. The calf maneuver proposed by Pilat for myofascial induction will be applied and the effects on the pain pressure threshold of the trigger points of the flexor digitorum brevis biceps femoris extensor digitorum longus muscles will be observed.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention

The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons.

Time frame: Immediately before intervention.

2.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention

The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.

Time frame: Immediately after the intervention.
