Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Subjects with no pain and with 18 to 30 years old.
Exclusion Criteria
- •(1) Diagnosis of lower limb injury, including any tendinopathy, bursitis, ligamentous involvement or fasciitis ,
- •(2) history of lower limb surgery ,
- •(3) participants were required not to have undergone ankle stretching or any other treatment,

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Range of motion with knee extended
Time Frame: 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.
Pressure pain threshold
Time Frame: 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 flexed
Time Frame: 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.
