Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns delivered to the upper limb, lower limb and trunk for promoting motor irradiation to the contralateral lower limb.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Upper limb pattern

Upper Limb pattern with flexion - abduction - external rotation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Upper Limb pattern with flexion - abduction - external rotation

Intervention Type OTHER

The PNF pattern will be applied three times. Participants will be in supine position under a stretcher, with arms folded and lower limbs in neutral position. In order to induce irradiation for the contralateral lower limb, the left foot sole will be kept in contact with the wall. For EMG recording, the participant will be positioned at the end of the PNF pattern and then the isometric contraction will be solicited. The command used was: "do not let me move you".

Lower limb pattern 1

Lower Limb pattern with flexion - adduction - external rotation with knee flexion;

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lower Limb pattern with flexion - adduction - external rotation with knee flexion

Intervention Type OTHER

The PNF pattern will be applied three times. Participants will be in supine position under a stretcher, with arms folded and lower limbs in neutral position. In order to induce irradiation for the contralateral lower limb, the left foot sole will be kept in contact with the wall. For EMG recording, the participant will be positioned at the end of the PNF pattern and then the isometric contraction will be solicited. The command used was: "do not let me move you".

Lower limb pattern 2

Lower Limb pattern with flexion - abduction - internal rotation with knee flexion;

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lower Limb pattern with flexion - abduction - internal rotation with knee flexion

Intervention Type OTHER

The PNF pattern will be applied three times. Participants will be in supine position under a stretcher, with arms folded and lower limbs in neutral position. In order to induce irradiation for the contralateral lower limb, the left foot sole will be kept in contact with the wall. For EMG recording, the participant will be positioned at the end of the PNF pattern and then the isometric contraction will be solicited. The command used was: "do not let me move you".

Sit to Stand

Sit to Stand task

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Sit to Stand

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will be sitting on a chair without armrests with ankles positioned at approximately 10 degrees of dorsiflexion. Knees will be kept at approximately 100 degrees of flexion. During the task, the participant will be instructed to stand from the sitting position while keeping their arms crossed over the chest. The examiner will give the command "ready - set - go". The task will be performed three times.
