Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study investigated the effects of micro-current stimulation therapy on gastrocnemius function. Twelve subjects participated in the study (average age: 28.58±3.37 years). Gastrocnemius function was measured pre- and post-intervention using a Myoton device. Muscle tone, dynamic stiffness, and elasticity of the gastrocnemius muscles were measured. The dominant leg gastrocnemius tone and dynamic stiffness showed significant improvement after microcurrent stimulation therapy, but elasticity showed no significant change. There was also no significant difference between dominant and nondominant gastrocnemius function. We concluded that microcurrent stimulation therapy improved gastrocnemius function.
