简要总结
Gastro-soleus tightness and limited ankle dorsiflexion range of motion are related to a number of lower limb disorders like tibial pain,IT band syndrome, Plantarfascitis , knee pain etc.
Studies show that static stretching is one of the most widely used intervention to improves the enchancibility and extensibility of Gastro-soleus tightness causing increase in dorsiflexion range of the ankle.
Cupping is an ancient chinese medicine, an alternative medicine to accupunture. There are various types, one being dry cupping. Cupping therapy is used in various diseases,pain, to improve flexibility by releasing the adhesions caused by the soft tissue thereby increasing the range of motion.Studies have been done on cupping therapy effect on hamstring flexibility, IT band syndrome, low back pain, neck pain. etc
Even though cupping therapy on gastro-soleus is done in clinical practise, its research progress is relatively less.
Also to overcome the disorders caused due to gastro-soleus tightness and to enhance flexibility in everyday life ,there is a need to find interventions combacting these restrictions.
and to compare the widely used dry cupping with other conventional techniques like static stretching , there is a need to initiate the study.
Weight bearing lunge test and star excursion balance test have a significant relation with dorsiflexion range of motion and on dynamic balance.
Hence the purpose of the study is to comapre the immediate effect of static stretching and cupping therapy on weight bearing lunge test and star excursion balance test in asymptomatic young adults with gastro-soleus tightness.
