Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Diacutaneous fibrolysis	Diacutaneous fibrolysis	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Delay time change	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Time between an electric impulse and 10% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Relaxation change	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton" (miliseconds).
Contraction time change	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Time between 10% and 90% of the contraction of the muscle that is being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Elasticity change	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Capacity to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton" (logarithmic decrement of a tissue's natural oscillation).
Maximal displacement change	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Maximal displacement of the muscle after being excited with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Sustain time change	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Relaxation time change	4 minutes before the intervention, 5 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation of the muscle after being impulsed with an electric impulse, using an electromyography test (miliseconds).
Stiffness change	2 minutes before the intervention, 7 minutes after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton" (Newtons/metre).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Gastrocnemious strength change	8 minutes before the intervention, 1 minute after the intervention and 30 minutes later	Isometric strength of the gastrocnemious muscles using a handheld dynamometer "microFET 2" (newtons).
