The Effects Of Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy And Stretch On The Torque-Angle Relation Of The Calf (Plantar Flexor) Muscles Associated With Passive Stretch Both During And After Treatment

The Effects Of Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy And Stretch On The Torque-Angle Relation Of The Calf (Plantar Flexor) Muscles Associated With Passive Stretch Both During And After Treatment

Context: Tissue heating with passive stretch may reduce musculotendinous stiffness; however, current research has not established guidelines for the clinical application of heat and stretch protocols. Objective: The purpose of this study was to asses the effects of stretching applied both during and...

Zusammenfassung:Context: Tissue heating with passive stretch may reduce musculotendinous stiffness; however, current research has not established guidelines for the clinical application of heat and stretch protocols. Objective: The purpose of this study was to asses the effects of stretching applied both during and/or after pulsed shortwave diathermy (PSWD) on the torque-angle relation of the triceps surae muscles.
