Osteopathic Intervention in Professional Handball Players
- Conditions
- Osteopathia
- Interventions
- Procedure: manual osteopathic intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT05942690
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Toulouse
- Brief Summary
The aim is to study the effectiveness of a common osteopathic intervention in professional handball players on diaphragmatic contractility and its correlations with posture. This study has never been done in healthy subjects. It is a scientific process of objectification of an osteopathic technique commonly performed in this population. The main objective is to assess diaphragmatic contractibility using ultrasound after abdominal osteopathic intervention (OMT).
- Detailed Description
The context is that of optimizing the performance of professional handball players. The aim is to study the effectiveness of a common osteopathic intervention in professional handball players on diaphragmatic contractility and its correlations with posture. This study has never been done in healthy subjects. It is a scientific process of objectification of an osteopathic technique commonly performed in this population.
The main objective is to assess diaphragmatic contractibility after abdominal osteopathic intervention (OMT).
The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of this manual intervention in professional handball players on:
* other diaphragmatic ultrasound data
* on spirometry
* postural control
Prospective pilot non-interventional controlled monocentric study opened in healthy male and female International players who are part of the French Handball team. Approach to objectification of current practice.

Group Intervention Description experimental manual osteopathic intervention The intervention evaluated is a technique of prolonged abdominal manual pressure centered on the zone of restriction of mobility called "trigger point" with diaphragmatic aim.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Variation in the fraction of diaphragm thickening (right and left) measured on ultrasound before and after the procedure Day 1 The subject undergoes the ultrasound which will investigate the contractility of the diaphragm muscle. Two expert sonographers from G-ECHO will perform the ultrasound on each of the athletes, and note 3 successive measurements to check the stability of the results.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Variation of the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measured in spirometry before and after the intervention Day 1 The subject performs spirometry while standing with a Spirobank spirometer. 3 successive measurements keeping only the highest value.
Inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness day 1 Inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness will be measured by echography (mm) after manual abdominal osteopathic intervention
diaphragmatic contraction velocity day 1 Diaphragmatic contraction velocity is expressed in % will be measured by echography after manual abdominal osteopathic intervention
diaphragmatic amplitude day 1 Diaphragmatic amplitude is expressed in mm and will be measured by echography after manual abdominal osteopathic intervention
expiratory diaphragmatic thickness Day 1 expiratory diaphragmatic thickness will be measured by echography (mm) after manual abdominal osteopathic intervention
Postural analysis Day 2 postural analysis will be perform using Cyber-Sabot type platform. the measurements will be done at day 1 before manual abdominal osteopathic intervention and at day 2
