Myofascial Induction Effects on Plantar Pressures and Stabilometry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective is to determine the effectiveness of myofascial Induction effects on plantar pressures and stabilometry variables. Forty healthy subjects (28 females and 12 males) will be recruited for a simple blind clinical trial. All subjects will be randomly distributed in two different groups: control group (sham treatment of myofascial Induction) and experimental group (myofascial Induction). Outcome measurements will be foot plantar pressure area (footprint) and center of pressure area (stabilometry) by the Balance Evaluation Systems test. Two trials will be recorded for each condition.
