Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization is not used without insulation. It is imperative to use movement and strengthening in combination with soft tissue mobilization to promote tissue adaptation and remodeling. Mechanical loading has been shown to affect chondrocyte alignment and fibroblast activity with increased proteoglycan and collagen synthesis.
Elastography is an imaging method that allows the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the biomechanical properties of tissues through USG. This imaging method provides information about the stiffness of the tissues independently of the acoustic impedance provided by B-mode examination and the vascular flow information provided by Doppler examination.
Compression elastography technique is based on the formation of strain (strain, displacement) in the compressed tissue. In hard tissues, displacement (strain) is less, while in soft tissues it is more. The displacement rates of the tissues are calculated by comparing the echo data obtained before and after the compression application. In compression elastography systems, the amount of pressure applied is indicated by an indicator on the screen.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique by compression elastography method on flexibility and thickness in gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon in healthy individuals.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Which leg of the individuals will be applied will be determined by the coin toss. After the money shot, the right leg will be applied when the writing comes, and the left leg will be applied when the tour comes. The leg to be applied includes the treatment group of the individuals; the other leg (the leg without application) will form the control group of individuals.
Observational
No application will be made to the control group.
IASTM Treatment Group
Which leg of the individuals will be applied will be determined by the coin toss. After the money shot, the right leg will be applied when the writing comes, and the left leg will be applied when the tour comes. The leg to be applied includes the treatment group of the individuals; the other leg (the leg without application) will form the control group of individuals.
IASTM Technique Application
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization will be applied to the legs of the individuals to be treated with ultrasound gel for 2 minutes.
