Percussive Therapy Reduced EMG Activity During Calf Raise in Limbs With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability

Between pre and post-test, there was a one and half minute period during which each participant were in a prone position on a medical examination bed. The experimental PT groups received a 30-second triceps surae massage on each limb, while the control group maintained the same prone position without massage. The massage gun was set to 2100bpm and 1 bar of surface pressure was indicated by the device. The massage gun movement was performed according to the manufactu'er's instructions.
