Summary

The aim of the study is to test the effect of myofascial induction and pre-pressure release of the grastrocnemius muscle on the proximal musculature: biceps femoris, flexor digitorum brevis and extensor digitorum grandus on the pain pre-pressure threshold variable and range of motion of ankle with knee bend and flexed

Conditions

• Pain Threshold
• Myofascial Trigger Point
• Manual Therapy
• Range of Motion

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius	A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.
OTHER	Preassure release	Also called ischaemic pressure. Three cycles of pressure are applied to the trigger point of the gastrocnemius muscle until the pain disappears on pressure.
