Static postural control will be assessed under three different conditions: (1) standing on both feet with eyes open, (2) standing on both feet with eyes closed, and (3) standing on one foot with eyes open.

The assessment will begin with the monofilament that applies the lowest force, and the procedure will progress to progressively thicker monofilaments until the participant perceives the stimulus. The lowest Semmes-Weinstein monofilament value perceived in these areas will be recorded as the plantar tactile sensation threshold.

However, no study evaluating plantar tactile sensation in individuals with isolated gastrocnemius tightness has been found in the existing literature. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing literature regarding the relationship between isolated gastrocnemius tightness and plantar tactile sensation and postural control. Evaluating plantar tactile sensitivity and postural control together may help elucidate not only the mechanical effects of isolated gastrocnemius tightness on joint range of motion but also its potential effects related to sensory and postural control.
