Brief summary
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the stabilometry variables.
Detailed description
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the stabilometry variables with eyes closed and open.
Interventions
Bilateral pressure release in Flexor Brevis Digitorum in subjects with latent trigger point
Bilateral non emission Laser in latent trigger points of the Flexor digitorum Brevis Muscle
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Must have latent trigger point in Flexor Brevis Digitorum muscles with no other pathologies
Exclusion criteria
* Previous lower extremities surgery. History of lower extremities injury with residual symptoms (pain, giving-away sensations) within the last year. Leg-length discrepancy more than 1 cm Balance deficits (determined by oral questionnaire regarding falls)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release (x) | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in X (in millimeters) with open eyes. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release (y) | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in millimeters) with open eyes. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release COP area | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in millimeters2) with eyes open. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release COP a-p | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in millimeters/second). |
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release COP lat-lat | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction (in millimeters/second). |
| Stabilometry variables eyes closed after pressure release (x) | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in X (in millimeters) with eyes closed. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes closed after pressure release (y) | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in millimeters) with closed eyes. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes closed after pressure release COP area | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in millimeters²) with eyes closed. |
| Stabilometry variables eyes closed after pressure release COP a-p | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in millimeters/second). |
| Stabilometry variables eyes closed after pressure release COP lat-lat | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction (in millimeters/second). |
