Résumé : |
Objectives To investigate the immediate effect on restricted active ankle joint dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), after a single intervention of myofascial trigger point (MTrP) therapy on latent triceps surae MTrPs in recreational runners. Design A crossover randomised controlled trial. Participants Twenty-two recreational runners (11 men and 11 women; mean age 24.57; +8.7 years) with a restricted active ankle joint dorsiflexion and presence of latent MTrPs. Intervention Participants were screened for a restriction in active ankle dorsiflexion in either knee flexion (soleus) or knee extension (gastrocnemius) and the presence of latent MTrPs. Participants were randomly allocated a week apart to both the intervention (combined pressure release and 10 s passive stretch) and the control condition. Results A clinically meaningful (large effect size) and statistically significant increase in ankle ROM in the intervention compared to the control group was achieved, for the soleus (p = 0.004) and the gastrocnemius (p = 0.026). Conclusion Apart from the statistical significance (p |
