Abdominal Muscles
Conditions
Brief summary
A non-randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control). The objective will be to determine the feasibility of the standardized intervention protocol on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) before, during and after the application of Vojta Therapy, and to know the effects produced on the Musculature studied after performing the intervention.
Interventions
OTHERVojta Therapy
The therapy consists of the application of a stimulating pressure in the pectoral area in the pattern of the locomotion complex of reflex rolling in its first phase. For this, the subject will be placed in a supine position aligned with respect to the axial axis, with the arms along the body, the lower extremities in extension, and the head extended with a rotation of approximately 30º towards one side of the stimulation. The manual stimulation pressure will be exerted in the space between the 6th-7th or the 7th-8th rib under the mammillary line, with a force of about 2 kg.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Electromyographic activity in abdominal muscles | Change from Baseline electromyographic activity at 10 minutes. | The electromyographic activity of internal and external obliques in nanovolts will be collected before, during and after the intervention. Acquired signals are sampled at 1 KHz and filtered with a 60 Hz high pass digital filter to reject signals of non-muscular origin. The degree of muscle activation measured in micro volts (uV) will be recorded. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date of birth | Baseline | It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the age of the participant. |
| Sex | Baseline | It will be registered at the beginning of the study. |
| Height | Baseline | It will be registered at the beginning of the study in centimeters. |
| Weight | Baseline | It will be registered at the beginning of the study in centimeters. |
