简要总结
This study evaluates if the physiotherapy treatment based on eccentric exercise, ultrasound-guided PNE or a combination of both therapies on chronic soleous injuries may cause changes in pain, functionality, dorsal flexion of the foot, balance and muscle fatigue in dancers.

研究组 & 干预措施
Eccentric group
The dancers of this group wil perform a soleus eccentric exercise
干预措施: Eccentric exercise (Other)
PNE group
The dancers of this group will receive a PNE treatment, consisting of the application of galvanic current, by ultrasound.
The approach will be performed with a transverse axis with a needle orientation that will depend on the location of the target tissue. The parameters will be 3 mA, 3 seconds, 3 impacts (3: 3: 3). The periodicity will be 1day/7day/21day
干预措施: PNE (Other)
Combined group
The dancers of this group will receive a combined treatment and will be carried out in the same way as the other two groups.
干预措施: Combined (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
change of pain level
时间窗: Change from Baseline VAS at 3 months months
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS: 0=no pain; 100= pain as bad as can be
Change of Lunge Test
时间窗: Change from Baseline lunge test at 3 months months
This test measures the ankle range of motion. Less than 9/10 cm, range of motion will be considered restricted
Change of the Endurance test
时间窗: Change from Baseline endurance test at 3 months months
The unilateral raised heel test. The dancer should repeatedly lift the heel from the floor to the maximum range of plantar flexion movement as many times as possible.
Changes of the DFOS questionnaire
时间窗: Change from Baseline DFOS questionnaire at 3 months months
This questionnaire measures the pain and function (0= bad; 90=well)
Change of the Releve test
时间窗: Change from Baseline releve test at 3 months months
During the unilateral balance test with open eyes, the participant will be asked to hold as much time as possible in the relay position (raised heel of the floor) on one leg
Change of the Balance test
时间窗: Change from Baseline balance test at 3 months months
The test will be conducted with closed eyes, flat feet and barefoot participants and dancers will perform a retiré position. Participants will maintain the position as long as possible.
Change of the Minimal Detectable Change (MCD)
时间窗: Change from after treatment at 3 months months
The minimal detectable change is defined as a valid change in score that is not due to chance. Minimally clinically important difference (MCID), in comparison, goes beyond valid change to assess meaningful difference in dance function
