Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate Neural mobilisation effects on calf muscles length and strength is crucial to optimize ballet performance and prevent injuries.

Conditions

  • Calf Muscle Tightness

Interventions

OTHER

Neural mobilisation

the neural mobilisation was done with placement of participant's leg in hip flexion, knee extension, ankle dorsiflexion and eversion to load the nerve. Then leg is placed back to neutral position, with ankle naturally plantarflexed to unload the nerve. NM of tibial nerve was done in a total of 10 seconds each repetition, with 5 seconds each for loading and unloading of nerve. Then 12 repetition was done in one set, which amount to a total of 120seconds or 2 minute per set. A total of 3 sets was done on each leg, with a 1-minute resting interval after each set. NM was administered to participants in experimental group before their ballet class for 3 times a week lasting for 4 weeks.

OTHER

Gastrocnemius stretching

Participants was instructed to perform the classic wall stretch for gastrocnemius as self-stretching for a duration of 30 seconds each leg. It was done facing the wall and one leg had knee flexed in front while the other leg had knee extended behind. A 30 second hold was maintained at maximum stretched position by leaning forward while both soles of feet remain contact on the ground. Self-stretch was performed throughout the 4-week study duration before every ballet training or class.
