Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate Neural mobilisation effects on calf muscles length and strength is crucial to optimize ballet performance and prevent injuries.

Detailed Description

A randomized controlled trial is conducted with a total of 54 non-professional ballet dancers recruited from ballet studios across the Klang Valley following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Baseline measurement of calf muscle performance was conducted before randomization using knee-to-wall (KtW) test, handheld dynamometer (HHD) and Y-balance (YBT). Participants were allocated to experimental (NM and self-stretching) or control (self stretching) .
