Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group I
(Manual Myofascial Relasing group
Manual myofascial release group
Manual myofascial release techniques were applied to Group I on the feet, legs, and thighs, twice a week for 4 weeks.
Group II
Graston Group
Graston group
Graston was applied to the gastrocnemius and hamstring muscles, and before the application, solid petroleum jelly was applied to the area to lubricate the surface. A stainless steel Graston instrument was used for the application, using a superficial sweep technique at a 30-degree angle for 2 minutes, followed by a deep sweep for 30 seconds.
Group III
Home based exercise group
Home based exercise group
Group III received a home exercise program that included stretching exercises. They were asked to perform the exercises twice a week for four weeks, with 15-20 repetitions, without any intervention from a physiotherapist.
