Percussion Massage Therapy Reduced EMG Activity During Standing Heel Raise
These results indicate CAI is associated with reduced calf muscle activation, and PMT further decreases it. However, PMT's activation-reducing effect may be counterproductive when increased muscle activation is desired, necessitating further research on PMT's interaction with activation exercises. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and optimal timing of PMT in rehabilitation and athletic settings.
