| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| change of neuromuscular stiffness of the gastrocnemious muscles | biomechanical property of a muscle that characterizes the resistance to an external force that deforms its initial shape, using a "Myoton". | 10 minutes before the intervention, and 1 minute after the intervention |
| change of elasticity of the gastrocnemious muscles | Biomechanical property of a muscle that characterizes the ability to recover its initial shape after the removal of the external force that lead to its deformation, using a "Myoton". | 10 minutes before the intervention, and 1 minute after the intervention |
| change of relaxation of the gastrocnemious muscles | Time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after the removal of an external force, using a "Myoton". | 10 minutes before the intervention, and 1 minute after the intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| change of active dorsiflexion ROM | Active range of movement of the dorsiflexion of the ankle, using an inclinometer (degrees). | 4 minutes before the intervention, and 6 minute after the intervention |
| change of pasive dorsiflexion ROM |
