What this Trial Is About
This interventional study aims to test gait biomechanics in healthy individuals with and without experimental muscle pain in the lower extremities. The study aims to: A) Examine how experimental muscle pain in different types of muscles (ankle plantar-flexion, knee extension, and flexion muscles) affects kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation Participants will receive six muscle injections: a) Hypertonic saline (painful condition) and b) Isotonic saline (control condition) in 1) m. gastrocnemius, 2) m. semitendinosus, and 3) m. biceps femoris.
