Effect of Attentional Touch in Stabilometric Assessments
- Conditions
- Postural Balance
- Registration Number
- NCT06066047
- Lead Sponsor
- Accademia Italiana Medicina Osteopatica
- Brief Summary
Postural balance has been studied in the literature and ideal body mass distribution has been shown to provide stability to the body in an upright position. The use of stabilometry to assess posture is a standard in clinical practice and medical research. In the literature we find osteopathic treatment evaluated with stabilometry in specific pathological conditions. We will experiment on asymptomatic volunteers how attentive touch is effective compared to non-attentive touch and compared to an untreated group by measuring specific parameters that indicate postural balance.
- Detailed Description
Stabilometry measurements will be taken on asymptomatic volunteers before and after several specific treatments, in particular to measure whether the variance in sway speed is reduced after the treatments. The effect of attentional versus non-attentional touch will be compared in the other two groups, in addition to a control group that receives no treatment.
