Brief Summary

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

Parameterize the Pompage technique with an anatomical model cervical region to simulate specific procedures. Quantify the times, displacements, and facilitate the training of students and professional of physical therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Manual techniques are taught and trained with practical demonstration without technology support to measure them, so they are difficult to reproduce. This difficulty increases in Pompage technique because the student is not able to estimate the displacement on the skin. In this research, to parameterize and train the technique was developed and validated an anatomical model of the cervical region, with silicone and latex rubber. The anatomical model simulates the soft tissues and a plastic resin structure represents the cervical spine bone. An optical sensor was used to measure the displacements performed on simulated skin versus time. The Likert scale was used for assessing the similarity of the anatomical model relative to the size, shape, texture, elasticity and displacement of the skin as well as the curvature of the cervical spine. Five experienced professionals (GP) in the technical performed five series of Pompage technique. With the mean of data collected were determined benchmarks for technical and implemented in a standard guide to train the volunteers. Twenty-six volunteers (GE) with no experience performed the Pompage technique, with the anatomical model following the standard guide. A physical therapist (VE) was selected to evaluate the volunteers (GE) before and after training in the simulator.

Study Groups

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

Simulator's construction

To build the simulator was selected a volunteer (VF) as a model. This volunteer had no complaints of pain or trauma to the cervical region. This region was used to collect the displacement of the skin and cytometry neck.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Model to build the mold for the simulator

Model Features

Thirty-nine volunteers (GT) were selected men and women aged over 18 years without history of trauma in the cervical region in order to determine the characteristics of the model: skin elasticity and cirtometry neck.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Model Features

Intervention Type OTHER

Volunteers to determine the elasticity of the skin and cirtometry neck to compare with the simulator.

Parameterization technique

Five physiotherapists (GP) with at least 5 years of experience in the technique were selected to perform the technique on the simulator and complete a questionnaire in order to evaluate the texture and skin elasticity, the curvature and size of the cervical spine format. They scored these items from the Likert scale. After evaluation they used the simulator to generate a standard guide training.
