Brief Summary  

Effectiveness of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization versus foam rolling on trigger point release in calf muscles

 OBJECTIVE:

1.   1.To find the effect of IASTM on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, pressure pain threshold and power.

2.   2. To study the effect of Foam Rolling on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, pressure pain threshold and power.

3.   3. To compare the effect of IASTM vs Foam rolling on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, pressure pain threshold and power.

 METHODOLOGY: 

Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria the subjects will be divided in 2 groups.Group A will be treated using IASTM and Group B will be given foam rolling.Pre and post treatment weight bearing lunge test, universal goniometer, pressure algometer and vertical jump test will be recorded on first day and 6th day.
