| Dry needling | Procedure | Dry needling to the soleus muscle |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Peak ankle dorsiflexion | The maximum amount of ankle forward bending during the movement. Measured in degrees using both inclinometry and motion capture-based relative segment angles in 3D.. | Pre-post testing on the same day. Post testing will occur within 60 minutes of the intervention. |
| Peak ground reaction force | The maximum amount of propulsive force measured by a 3D force platform during the movement. Measured in Newtons. | Pre-post testing on the same day. Post testing will occur within 60 minutes of the intervention. |
| Peak muscle activation | The maximum amount of electrical excitation of the soleus muscle during the movement. Measured in mV using surface electromyography. | Pre-post testing on the same day. Post testing will occur within 60 minutes of the intervention. |
| Tissue stiffness | A measure of the tissue compliance or stiffness of the soleus muscle. Measured in kPa using ultrasound-based shear wave elastography. | Pre-post testing on the same day. Post testing will occur within 60 minutes of the intervention. |
