简要总结
The goal of this clinical-test study is to evaluate the reliability of the direct palpation of the ileotibial band. For this purpose, a group of 100 healthy subjects will be considered. The main question it aims to answer regards the reproducibility of the intra and inter examiner evaluation performed on the same day (intra-day) and the validation of the palpatory examination with an instrumental measure of the tissue tension.
Participants will undergo a manual and instrumental sampling of the ileotibial band tension of both legs.
详细描述
The project includes 6 phases:
I phase - agreement in principle on the method of collection; II phase - recruitment; III phase - first sampling; IV phase - training on perception and concordance; V phase - second sampling to verify the progression of the agreement; VI phase - third manual sampling and evaluation with Myoton.
Description of the phases
Phase I - Two examiners together with the principal investigator perform 2 hours of training to standardize the sampling method (localization of the point to be evaluated of the Iileotibial band -ITB- and intensity of pressure of the fingertips to be used) and discussion on the tension gradation detected on the ITB with some volunteers.
Phase II - The recruitment will be carried out through the search for volunteers among the students of the OSCE-Bologna school of osteopathy, through announcement in the classroom and publication of the recruitment in the FB social group of the school (OSCE planet) and WhatsApp groups of students organized by year .

入选标准
- •healthy subjects
排除标准
- •clinically evident painful symptoms that, in the opinion of the subject himself or the examiner, may prevent the test from being carried out (for example, pain in the hip while maintaining the sampling position);
- •evident excess weight (BMI greater than 28 kg / m2) which may make the manual and instrumental result obtained doubtful.
