Effects of Myofascial Induction Pressure Pain Threshold in Trigger Points of the Proximal Muscles of Gastrocnemius

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Myofascial Trigger Point; Pain Threshold; Gastrocnemius Muscle; Manual Therapy
• Interventions: Other: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle

• Registration Number: NCT06499493
• Lead Sponsor: Mayuben Private Clinic

Brief Summary

In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique in the muscles close to the application in the gastrocnemius muscle.

Detailed Description

In the present study we will test the effects of myofascial induction technique on nearby muscles. The calf maneuver proposed by Pilat for myofascial induction will be applied and the effects on the pain pressure threshold of the trigger points of the flexor digitorum brevis biceps femoris extensor digitorum longus muscles will be observed.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental: Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius	Myofascial induction in gastrocnemius muscle	A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles before intervention	Immediately before 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.
2.Pressure pain threshold in flexor digitorum brevis, biceps femoris, extensor digitorum brevis muscles after intervention	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.
