简要总结
Introduction. Lower limb injuries are characteristic of rugby players. Core exercises aim to improve ankle stability. The ankle bandage in 8 is used in the approach to injuries to provide better stability in the joint.
Objectives. To assess the effectiveness of an intervention through motor control and bandage on lower limb stability in rugby players from 18 to 40 years old.
Study design. Randomized, single-blind clinical study with a follow-up period. Methodology. Twenty-five rugby players will be recruited to be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (specific exercises for the Core area and ankle bandage) and control (Core motor control). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of 15min each. The study variables will be: core motor control (measured with plate test, trunk flexion test and modified Biering-Sorensen test) and the stability of the lower limbs (measured with Double Heel Rise and Single Heel Rise test). A descriptive analysis will be carried out calculating the main statistical characteristics. Through an analysis of Shapiro-Wills the normality of the study groups will be calculated, and through an analysis with the parametric tests of t-student and ANOVA of repeated measures, we will evaluate the difference after the evaluations in both groups and the intra-e intersubject, respectively.
Expected results. Increased motor control of the core and stability of lower limbs.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline central stability after treatment and at month
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
The assessment of the central stability will be carried out with the modified Biering-Sorensen test. The subject must remain prone on a stretcher, while the part of the trunk should protrude through the front of the stretcher and completely parallel to the floor. The arms will remain crossed on the chest touching the shoulders at all times. The test ends when the subject supports any part of his body on the floor. The normative values of this test are 146 seconds for men and 189 for women, with the second being the unit of measurement for this test.
次要结局
- Change from baseline Core rating after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline trunk strength after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
- Change from baseline ankle stability after treatment and at month(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
