Brief Summary

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

This study map the occurrence of functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in students of the bachelor's program of physiotherapy of the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and aim on improvement of them.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to map the occurrence of functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in students of the bachelor's program of physiotherapy of the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and to examine their postural functions. Another goal is to teach the students of the experimental group how to remove functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and how to change their motor behaviour and postural functions so that the development of functional disorders no longer occurs.

Study Groups

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

individual outpatient physiotherapy

individual outpatient physiotherapy (7 times in two and a half months, approx. 90 minutes) aimed at correcting functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system assessed by differential diagnosis (removal of trigger points, stretching of shortened muscles and mobilization of joint blockages) and changing of motor program that led to the occurrence of the functional disorder by means of Motor Programmes Activating Therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Differential diagnostic

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Physiotherapy aimed at correcting functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system assessed by differential diagnosis (removal of trigger points, stretching of shortened muscles and mobilization of joint blockages)

Without changing the current habits

It will not change the existing habits. At the same time, however, these are physiotherapy students who will participate in the classes. Their motor behaviour can thus be influenced in a natural way.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Differential diagnostic

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Physiotherapy aimed at correcting functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system assessed by differential diagnosis (removal of trigger points, stretching of shortened muscles and mobilization of joint blockages)

Interventions
