Official title

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

Overview

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.

Interventions

  • Other high-speed, low-amplitude talocrural decompression technique and changes at the level of mobility and plantar pressure
    high-speed, low-amplitude talocrural decompression technique and changes at the level of mobility and plantar pressure in a supine position
  • Other simulated ankle technique
    simulated ankle technique in a supine position

Primary outcome measures

  • Ankle range of motion [Time frame: one day]
  • plantar pressure centers [Time frame: one day]

Eligibility criteria

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

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
