Brief Summary

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

Randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, of both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (expert therapist vs. non-expert therapist). The objective will be to determine if there are differences in the muscular activation produced on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) if it is applied by an expert therapist versus if it is applied by a therapist not specialized in therapy and to know the effects produced on the muscles studied after performing the intervention.

Study Groups

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

Expert group

The stimulation will be applied by an expert therapist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vojta Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The subject will be placed on a stretcher with the torso uncovered. Once the adhesive electrodes have been placed in the different recording areas on the anterior part of the trunk, a recording of the activity at rest will begin, two minutes of stimulation (digital pressure), one minute of rest, two minutes of stimulation in the contralateral side and, finally, one minute of rest.

The therapy consists of the application of a stimulating pressure in the pectoral area in the pattern of the locomotion complex of reflex rolling in its first phase. For this, the subject will be placed in a supine position aligned with respect to the axial axis, with the arms along the body, the lower extremities in extension, and the head extended with a rotation of approximately 30º towards one side of the stimulation. The manual stimulation pressure will be exerted in the space between the 6th-7th or the 7th-8th rib under the mammillary line, with a force of about 2 kg.

Non-expert group

This group will receive the same stimulation as the expert group but in this case it will be applied by a therapist not specialized in therapy.
