Overview
Brief Summary
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the stabilometry variables.
Detailed Description
Thirty-six subjects randomly distributed between a pressure release intervention group and a control group whose intervention is a non-emission laser. All the subjects will be measured before and after the interventions of each group. The measurements will be made on a pressure platform to record the stabilometry variables with eyes closed and open.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release (y)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in millimeters) with open eyes.
Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release (x)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week

Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release COP area
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in millimeters2) with eyes open.
Stabilometry variables eyes open before pressure release COP a-p
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the anteroposterior(a-p) direction (in millimeters/second).

Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in millimeters) with closed eyes.

Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in millimeters²) with eyes closed.

Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure center of pressure speed displacement of the latero-lateral(lat-lat) direction (in millimeters/second).
