Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates if the physiotherapy treatment based on eccentric exercise, ultrasound-guided PNE or a combination of both therapies on chronic soleous injuries may cause changes in pain, functionality, dorsal flexion of the foot, balance and muscle fatigue in dancers.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Eccentric group

The dancers of this group wil perform a soleus eccentric exercise

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Eccentric exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

soleus eccentric exercise

PNE group

The dancers of this group will receive a PNE treatment, consisting of the application of galvanic current, by ultrasound.

The approach will be performed with a transverse axis with a needle orientation that will depend on the location of the target tissue. The parameters will be 3 mA, 3 seconds, 3 impacts (3: 3: 3). The periodicity will be 1day/7day/21day

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PNE

Intervention Type OTHER

the application of galvanic current

Combined group

The dancers of this group will receive a combined treatment and will be carried out in the same way as the other two groups.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Combined

Intervention Type OTHER

soleus eccentric exercise and PNE
