Expert vs. Non-expert Abdominal Electromyographic Control in Vojta Therapy

Not Applicable

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Abdominal Muscles
• Interventions: Other: Vojta Therapy

• Registration Number: NCT06159426
• Lead Sponsor: University of Salamanca

Brief Summary

Randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, of both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (expert therapist vs. non-expert therapist). The objective will be to determine if there are differences in the muscular activation produced on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) if it is applied by an expert therapist versus if it is applied by a therapist not specialized in therapy and to know the effects produced on the muscles studied after performing the intervention.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Non-expert group	Vojta Therapy	This group will receive the same stimulation as the expert group but in this case it will be applied by a therapist not specialized in therapy.
Expert group	Vojta Therapy	The stimulation will be applied by an expert therapist.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Electromyographic activity in abdominal muscles	Change from Baseline electromyographic activity at 7 minutes.	The electromyographic activity of internal and external obliques in nanovolts will be collected before, during and after the intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Date of birth	Baseline	It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the age of the participant.
Sex	Baseline	It will be registered at the beginning of the study.
Height	Baseline	It will be registered at the beginning of the study in centimeters.
Weight	Baseline	It will be registered at the beginning of the study in kilograms.
