简要总结
The central nervous system (CNS) coordinates balance through the visual, vestibular, and somatoproprioceptive systems, which produce muscle activation for postural control. Among the important muscle activations for postural control are those produced in the ankle joint, which is crucial for maintaining postural control in sports settings, along with the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Studies show that children who practice sports improve their postural stability and accelerate sensory maturation, which can affect the development of the lower limb extremity, specifically the insertional musculature of the ankle and foot. The present study aims to analyze postural control in school-aged children with triceps suralis retraction and assess the effectiveness of treatment with stretching versus a heel pad for 3 and 6 months. Additionally, the study will analyze whether the physical activity the children engage in influences their stability
详细描述
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using a heel pad and a gastrocnemius and soleus stretching protocol. The outcomes of both interventions will be evaluated and compared, including pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments at 3 months and 6 months.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline of Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) at 6 months
时间窗: At baseline; post 1 (3 months) and post 2 (6 months)
The data on the type and amount of physical activity performed by the participants will be collected using the Spanish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) (Appendix 3). The PAQ-C has been validated by Manchola-González, Bagur-Calafat, and Girabent-Farrésby Manchola-González, Bagur-Calafat, and Girabent-Farrés will be used to collect data on the type and amount of physical activity performed by the participants.
次要结局
- Stabilometry(At baseline; post 1 (3 months) and post 2 (6 months))
- Lunge Test(At baseline; post 1 (3 months) and post 2 (6 months))
- Instability test(At baseline; post 1 (3 months) and post 2 (6 months))
