IRCT20240721062499N1 IRCT 2024-08-03 The University of Faisalabad Primal reflex release technique for calf tightness Comparative effects of primal reflex release technique versus positional release technique on tightened calf muscles 2024-02-29 anticipated 32 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/78142 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: A simple randomization clinical trial was conducted by using stratified randomization. Unit of randomization were individuals. The tools used in randomization were random numbers. Random sequence was done by selecting the individuals one by one as they met the criteria of inclusion. Allocation concealment was carried out, Blinding description: The participants were blinded in the study. The researcher did not inform the participant that in which intervention group they have been added. N/A Calf tightness. Intervention 1: Intervention group 1 or group A was provided with primal reflex release technique and hot pack as baseline treatment. Two sessions were done during a week and duration of each session was of 15 minutes. In a single session 3 sets of the technique was given with each set of 10-15 seconds and hot pack for 10 minutes. The procedure of the technique is as follows; With knee flexed at 90 degrees ask patient to dorsiflex ankle while keeping toes flexed. Now apply strokes on anterior tibialis tendon while patient holds ankle in dorsiflexion against resistance. Intervention 2: In intervention group 2 or group B, participants received positional release technique (3 sets in which each set was of 90 seconds) for calf tightness and hot pack (10 minutes) as baseline treatment. Total time for each session was 15 minutes. For gastrocnemius the subject in prone position and ankle in plantar flexion and knee in 90-degree flexion. For 90 seconds, the therapist applies intense pressure to palpable taut band for 3 times. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Comparative effects of primal reflex release technique versus positional release technique on tightened calf muscles / results for primary outcome measures When: starting of October 2024 To whom: people working in academic institutions Conditions: medical students, teachers Where to obtain: 2022-ms-pt-023@tuf.edu.pk How to obtain: 2022-ms-pt-023@tuf.edu.pk Comments:
