The Effect of the Release of the Intrathoracic Fascia on Thoracic Rotation Mobility
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Subjects in the experimental group will undergo a technique for stretching the intrathoracic fascia. Before and after, a measurement will be performed with a goniometer, to see if there is a difference in thoracic rotation mobility.
Subjects in the placebo group get a different technique, where the hands of the therapists are simply placed on the thorax, but no manoeuvre will be performed. Before and after, there is a measurement in thoracic rotation mobility.
Data will be compared and statistical analyse will be done to see of there is a difference in rotation. So the hypothesis that stretching intrathoracic fascia has an effect on thoracic rotation mobility, will be accepted or rejected.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Stretching of intrathoracic fascia
A technique will be used to stretch the intrathoracic fascia.
The subject lies in his/her back, and a flexion of the upper cervical spine is combined with a retraction movement of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine, this in combination with inspiration.
|
Measuring the thoracic rotation mobility with a goniometer, from a standardized position
|
Placebo Comparator: Test without stretching
A placebo technique is performed by positioning the hands of the therapist on the thorax without pressure or performing a technique.
Similar as the stretching technique, a deep inspiration is performed by the patient, for each of the intrathoracic cilinders.
This without performing a retraction of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine.
