      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomized clinical trial, a single-blinded experimental study was conducted. There was the formation of two study groups out of selected sample naming as group A and group B. Simple random sampling technique was used for the recruitment of study participants and they were allocating to groups using lottery method by keeping the allocation ratio (1:1) for both groups, Blinding description: Participants were blinded from the interventionl groups during the study. They didn't know which study group contain which intervention.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Condition 1: GASTROCNEMIUS TRIGGER POINTS. Condition 2: GAIT IN GASTROCNEMIUS TRIGGER POINTS.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group A Muscle Energy Technique (MET): Group A subject received 10 minutes session of moist hot pack from hydro collator at 55 degrees followed by a set of 7 repetitions of calf stretching where each stretch was held static for 10 seconds &amp; after which treatment for each group was performed. This baseline treatment took almost 15 minutes. After that the participants of group A post-isometric relaxation technique of muscle energy technique was used. On a therapeutic bed, the participants were lying face down with their feet dangling off the edge. The individual feels a tension barrier when the dominant foot is gently moved into dorsiflexion. The subject next be told to perform an isometric contraction for seven seconds using 20% of their maximal strength against the therapist's resistance. The subject was told to relax after seven seconds as the therapist moves their ankle into a deeper range of dorsiflexion till, they feel the next stress barrier. This tension barrier continued for 60 seconds. There were three instances of this process. Total session time of group A treatment along with the common/baseline treatment was 30 minutes. Intervention 2: Intervention group B Strain Counter Strain (SCS): Group B subject received 10 minutes session of moist hot pack from hydro collator at 55 degrees followed by a set of 7 repetitions of calf stretching where each stretch was held static for 10 seconds &amp; after which treatment for each group was performed. This baseline treatment took almost 15 minutes. After that the subject was laying prone with the knee bent at a 90-degree angle and ankle plantarflexed. Therapist exerted intense manual pressure on the trigger point, had been palpated and hold it 90 seconds. This process was carried out three times. Total session time of group B treatment along with the common/baseline treatment was 30 minutes.</i_freetext>
