Immediate Effects of the HVLA Talocrural Distraction Technique in Soccer Players

October 20, 2024 updated by: Isidro Fernández López, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Immediate Effects of the HVLA Talocrural Distraction Technique in Dorsiflexion, the Plantar Center of Pressure and the Percentage of Rearfoot Loading in Soccer Players

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

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.

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:
