Brief Summary

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

The aims of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a protocol of manual therapy on the static balance, dynamic balance and mood states in health participants. This study will consist of a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be healthy subjects divided into 2 groups, being an experimental group that will receive a manual therapy session and a control group without treatment. It will be evaluated at the start of the study, after treatment and one week later.

Detailed Description

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

Background

Evidence suggest that the application of manual therapy could be effective in multiple pathologies, but there are few studies which have investigated the effectiveness of manual therapy in to balance and mood states.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of a protocol of manual therapy on the static balance, dynamic balance and mood states in health participants.

Metods

This is a randomized controlled trial which will be carried out with young adults. The sample will be divided into 2 groups: a) experimental group that will receive a manual therapy session; b) a control group without treatment. All subjects signed the informed consent and confidentiality of the data was reserved according to the Helsinki declaration. The treatments were carried out in the laboratories of the University of Valencia and the project was approved by the institution's ethics committee.

The experimental group to receive manual therapy (Bilateral manipulation lumbosacral, hip joint gapping, stretching the hip rotators with hip and knee flexion, femorotibial gapping, decompression of connective tissue of the patellofemoral region, internal and external joint line opening in laterality, mobilization of the base of the fibula, tibiofibular-talus gapping, and muscle strengthening). The control group will not receive treatment and only evaluations will be performed.

Outcomes

The evaluations will consist of the following variables: Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Unipedal Stance Test (UPST), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and POMS (Profile Of Mood States). Evaluations will be carried out at three times: at the beginning of the study, after treatment and one week later.
