Grastion and Percussion Therapy

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Muscle Fatigue and Muscle Oxygenation

In brief

The study aims to investigate the effects of percussion therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISM), commonly used in clinical settings, on muscle fatigue, maximum muscle strength, pain threshold, and muscle oxygenation. The study will involve 20 volunteer participants. To achieve the study results, pre-exercise percussion therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISM) will be administered using a crossover design. Results will be measured using a digital dynamometer, a moxy oxygen monitor, and a fatigue questionnaire.
