The aim of the study is to test the effect of myofascial induction and pre-pressure release of the grastrocnemius muscle on the proximal musculature: biceps femoris, flexor digitorum brevis and extensor digitorum grandus on the pain pre-pressure threshold variable and range of motion of ankle with knee bend and flexed

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Myofascial induction in the gastrocnemius muscle | Experimental | A 3-pass shallow leg gliding technique was applied first, followed by 5 minutes of the deep myofascial calf induction technique described by Pilat. |
|
| Preassure release in gastrocnemius muscle | Active Comparator | Also called ischaemic pressure. Three cycles of pressure are applied to the trigger point of the gastrocnemius muscle until the pain disappears on pressure. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 1.Threshold of pain on pressure on biceps femoris before. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
| 2.Pain threshold to pressure in the extensor digitorum longus muscle before. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
| 3.Pain threshold to pressure on flexor digitorum brevis muscle before. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
| 4.Pain threshold on biceps femoris pressure after. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
| 5.Pain threshold to pressure in the extensor digitorum longus muscle after. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
| 6.Pain threshold on pressure in the flexor digitorum brevis muscle tras. | The pressure at which the patient starts to feel pain with pressure is measured 3 times with an algometer. It is measured in newtons | Immediately before the intervention. |
