Brief Summary:
The retraction of the posterior leg muscles consists of a shortening of the muscle fibers that limits ankle dorsiflexion The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial RCT with a double-blind technique and longitudinal chronology is to evaluate the short-term effect of electrostimulation associated with muscle stretching electrical muscle elongation technique or EME compared to static stretching in adult subjects with shortening of the posterior leg muscles
The main questions it seeks to answer are
Are there significant differences in the short-term effect of electrical muscle elongation versus static stretching exercises on the gastrocnemius complex and Achilles tendon in young adults
Does the ankle39s range of motion increase in both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing positions
Does muscle strength increase in ankle plantar flexion
The researchers will compare the group receiving electrical muscle elongation with interferential current to the group receiving passive static stretching to assess whether there are significant differences in the effects on the ankle39s range of motion and the muscle strength of the posterior leg muscles
Participants in this study will perform the following tasks
Receive a session of electrical muscle elongation with TENS and static stretching performed by the researcher
Follow the instructions during the intervention
Undergo evaluations of ankle range of motion and plantar flexor muscle strength
Record their level of satisfaction after the study
