Static Stretching on Postural Sway and Plantar Pressures

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Muscle Stretching Exercise; Postural Balance; Stabilometry; Platform
• Interventions: Other: Intermittent stretching protocol; Other: Continuous stretch

• Registration Number: NCT03743168
• Lead Sponsor: Universidad de León

Brief Summary

Risk for falls has been associated with falls efficacy and postural balance. The objective was to compare the effects on the footprint and the stabilometry of the continuous stretch and the intermittent. Subjects were randomly assigned to an intermittent stretching protocol group or continuous stretch group both of them loading passive plantar flexor stretching. Static footprint and stabilometry were measured before and after both protocols.
