Study Overview
Brief Summary
The Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) is a novel therapeutic approach aimed at
restoring neuromuscular balance by targeting hyperactive reflexes that may contribute to
tendon tightness and altered postural dynamics.The Achilles tendon plays a vital role in lower limb function, including activities such as
walking, running, and maintaining balance. Restricted flexibility or dysfunction in this
tendon can impaired mobility and increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.This study addresses this gap by exploring the effects of PRRT on Achilles tendon length and CoP standing in college students. Findings from this study may provide valuable
insights for physical therapists and sports trainers, contributing to more effective injury
prevention and rehabilitation strategies for young, active individuals.Despite its potential benefits, there is limited research on its efficacy, particularly
concerning the elongation of the Achilles tendon and its influence on COP excursion. Moreover, inadequate COP control can lead to poor postural stability, impacting daily functional activities. Particularly, in young and active populations, such as college students.
