Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization IASTM in healthy tissue of adult volunteers The main questions it aims to answer are
Does IASTM treatment have an effect on range of motion ROM as measured in the ankle and knee
Does IASTM treatment have an effect on movement patterns including gait - how a person walks Researchers will compare pre-test and post-test data from the same individual on their day with treatment to the pre-test and post-test data from the same individual on their day without treatment to see if ROM or gait are effected by use of IASTM
Participants will
Complete a past medical and injury history questionnaire
Have ankle and knee range of motion ROM measurements taken on both lower extremities using a goniometer
Undergo a gait analysis to determine center of gravity center of pressure step length stride length and stride frequency using Noraxon MyoMuscle Ultium Insoles
Undergo IASTM treatment techniques using the HawkGrips tools including applying emollient to the skin to reduce friction on the surface followed by scanning the gastrocsoleus complexes and Achilles tendons using the HG8-Scanner tool for 15 strokes in each direction to identify areas of concern then the concave tool corresponding to the size of the structure being treated will be used HG6-Large Multi-Curve HG5-Medium Multi-Curve HG4-Small Multi-Curve for 15 strokes in each direction Treatment techniques should last for 10 minutes in total on each side
Complete the ankle and knee ROM measurements as well as gait analysis again to document progress at the end of the first session
Return three to seven days after the first session in which the subject will have the walking treatment
Undergo the same baseline pre-test measurements for range of motion and gait analysis as the first session
Experience the walking treatment by walking for the same time period that the IASTM treatment took at the first session
Undergo the post-test range of motion and gait analysis for data comparison
