Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization therapy on delayed onset muscle soreness

Detailed description

Joint range of motion, pressure pain threshold, edema, isometric muscle strength measurement, visual pain scale, two-point discrimination, biochemical measurements (muscle damage in blood (serum creatine kinase (CC), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobin, its effects on aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and biomarkers of inflammation (interleukin-1 beta), Carbonic anhydrase III, and C-reactive protein, and at what time interval and after which treatment session in the process after delayed muscle pain formation. It is aimed to determine how it affects the parameters.

Conditions

• Musculoskeletal Pain
• Soreness, Muscle
• Musculoskeletal Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization	For IASTM treatment, IASTM soft tissue mobilization blade to apply the treatment used. It is a stainless steel shaped metal tool with beveled edges. The researcher, with a 30° angled tool, at a speed of 120 BPM, in the direction of the fibers of the m.biceps brachii muscle. He applied it with a light pressure by intervening with his weight. Researcher during treatment used a metronome to ensure consistent speed and adjusted the instrument angle before each subject's treatment. calibrated with a protractor. The application took 8 minutes and the instrument was comfortable on the skin.
