Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of a high-speed, low-amplitude physiotherapy technique at the ankle level, when performed on amateur soccer players.

Detailed Description

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

In this randomized, single-blind, cross-sectional and prospective clinical trial, the effect on ankle mobility and changes in plantar pressure centers obtained after performing a high-velocity, low-amplitude physiotherapy technique in amateur soccers will be assessed.

Two intervention groups are used; in one of them this treatment will be applied in a real way, and in the other one a simulation will be carried out.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Men over 18 years old
* Men that played or have played soccer as an amateur or professional on a regular basis
* No previous musculoskeletal history that would contraindicate HLVA techniques (recent fractures, osteosynthesis material placed in the joint, infections...)

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects under 18 years old
* Subjects who have suffered musculoskeletal pathology in the lower limb that contraindicates manipulation or who have a medical diagnosis of chronic ankle instability
* Subjects who suffer neurological or cognitive alterations that prevent the understanding of questionnaires or physical tests; and those who have not signed the informed consent documents
