Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius	Calf myofascial technique	A 3-pass superficial leg glide technique was applied first and then 5 minutes of the deep calf myofascial induction technique as described by Pilat.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pressure pain threshold	Immediately after the intervention.	The pressure at which the patient begins to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer.It is measured in newtons
Range of motion with knee extended	Immediately after the intervention.	The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee extended under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
Range of motion with knee flexed	Immediately after the intervention.	The joint range is measured in dorsiflexion of the ankle joint with the knee flexed under load and is measured with an inclinometer in degrees.Measured in grades.
