The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* Does IASTM treatment have an effect on range of motion (ROM) as measured in the ankle and knee?\n* Does IASTM treatment have an effect on movement patterns including gait - how a person walks? Researchers will compare pre-test and post-test data from the same individual on their day with treatment to the pre-test and post-test data from the same individual on their day without treatment to see if ROM or gait are effected by use of IASTM.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Complete a past medical and injury history questionnaire\n* Have ankle and knee range of motion (ROM) measurements taken on both lower extremities using a goniometer\n* Undergo a gait analysis to determine center of gravity, center of pressure, step length, stride length, and stride frequency using Noraxon MyoMuscle Ultium Insoles\n* Undergo IASTM treatment techniques using the HawkGrips tools including applying emollient to the skin to reduce friction on the surface followed by scanning the gastroc/soleus complexes and Achilles tendons using the HG8-Scanner tool for 15 strokes in each direction to identify areas of concern, then the concave tool corresponding to the size of the structure being treated will be used (HG6-Large Multi-Curve, HG5-Medium Multi-Curve, HG4-Small Multi-Curve) for 15 strokes in each direction. Treatment techniques should last for 10 minutes in total on each side.\n* Complete the ankle and knee ROM measurements as well as gait analysis again to document progress at the end of the first session.\n* Return three to seven days after the first session in which the subject will have the walking treatment.\n* Undergo the same baseline pre-test measurements for range of motion and gait analysis as the first session\n* Experience the walking treatment by walking for the same time period that the IASTM treatment took at the first session\n* Undergo the post-test range of motion and gait analysis for data comparison.", "detailedDescription"=>"No further information to note than what is described in the summary or elsewhere"}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "minimumAge"=>"18 years", "healthyVolunteers"=>true, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals from a small regional university student body, faculty and staff may choose to volunteer to participate in this study.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Acute spinal cord injury with neurological deficits\n* Neurological disorders\n* Acute lower extremity injury such as sprain or strain\n* Acute lower extremity pain causing gait deviation\n* Any type of lower extremity fracture within the past 12 months\n* Lumbar disc pathology with radicular symptoms\n* Use of blood thinning or clotting medications\n* Known connective tissue disorder"}, "identificationModule"=>{"nctId"=>"NCT06612983", "acronym"=>"(IASTM)", "briefTitle"=>"Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Healthy Tissue Regarding Range of Motion and Gait", "organization"=>{"class"=>"OTHER", "fullName"=>"Minot State University"}, "officialTitle"=>"Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Healthy Tissue Regarding Range of Motion and Gait", "orgStudyIdInfo"=>{"id"=>"2242"}}, "armsInterventionsModule"=>{"armGroups"=>[{"type"=>"EXPERIMENTAL", "label"=>"IASTM", "description"=>"This arm of the study received treatment on day one and walking treatment on day two.", "interventionNames"=>["Other: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization", "Other: Walking Treatment"]}], "interventions"=>[{"name"=>"Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization", "type"=>"OTHER", "otherNames"=>["HawkGrips"], "description"=>"Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is a technique that is applied using specially designed tools/instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissues including the skin, fascia, muscles, and tendons by its various direct compressive stroke techniques on the gastroc/soleus complexes and Achilles tendons in the first session.", "armGroupLabels"=>["IASTM"]}, {"name"=>"Walking Treatment", "type"=>"OTHER", "description"=>"Movement itself should promote mobility so walking steadily for the same period of time as the IASTM had taken to complete is the sham treatment in second session.", "armGroupLabels"=>["IASTM"]}]}, "contactsLocationsModule"=>{"locations"=>[{"zip"=>"58707", "city"=>"Minot", "state"=>"North Dakota", "country"=>"United States", "facility"=>"Minot State University", "geoPoint"=>{"lat"=>48.23251, "lon"=>-101.29627}}], "overallOfficials"=>[{"name"=>"Beth Marschner, DPT", "role"=>"PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR", "affiliation"=>"Minot State University"}]}, "ipdSharingStatementModule"=>{"ipdSharing"=>"NO", "description"=>"The individual participant data is not the main focus of this study.
