Short term changes in algometry, inclinometry, stabilometry and urinary pH analysis after a thoracolumbar junction manipulation in patients with kidney stones: a randomized controlled trial

Short term changes in spinous process and muscular algometry, thoracolumbar junction inclinometry and stabilometry parameters and urinary pH analysis after a bilateral rotational, end range, thoracolumbar junction manipulation versus manual placebo in patients with a diagnosis of kidney stones diagnosed following the criteria of the European Association of Urology

Brief summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of manipulation in the thoracolumbar junction in pressure pain thresholds, back range of motion, postural control and postural balance and in urinary pH in patients with kidney stones. The main hypothesis of the study is that bilateral semidirect thrust technique in lumbar roll with thumb on T12 in patients with kidney stones will cause a change in the increased mobility of the spine in flexion, a change in the sensitivity of the trigger points muscles of both quadratus lumborum and T10 to L1 lumbar spinous processes, a change in stabilometric parameters and urinary pH.

Interventions

Intervention Group: Semi-direct thrust technique in lumbar roll on T12 (bilateral) The approximate duration of the intervention is 90 seconds. The intervention is performed once only and is administered by an osteopath.
