Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Outcome measures included skin temperature assessed with thermal imaging, quadriceps muscle strength measured with a handheld dynamometer, flexibility assessed by standardized clinical procedures, and pulse rate. All measurements were collected at four time points: immediately before the intervention, immediately after, 15 minutes after, and 60 minutes after the intervention.
The study was conducted with healthy adult volunteers to evaluate the acute physiological effects of commonly used physiotherapy modalities on the patellar tendon region. The findings are intended to inform clinical decision-making by clarifying how different physiotherapy techniques influence tendon-related parameters within the first hour following treatment.
