Brief Summary

Parameterize the Pompage technique with an anatomical model cervical region to simulate specific procedures. Quantify the times, displacements, and facilitate the training of students and professional of physical therapy.

Conditions

Musculoskeletal Pain; Contracture

Keywords

Pompage

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Displacement of the skin

  The displacement of the skin (mm) of the volunteers VF and GT was measured to validated the simulator. The volunteers GE used the simulator and the displacement of the skin of simulator was measured during the Pompage technique.

  5 days

• Pressure

  The volunteers GE used the simulator and the pressure (mm/Hg ) on the simulator was measured during the Pompage technique.

  5 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Cytometry neck

  1 minute

Study Arms (5)

Simulator's construction

EXPERIMENTAL

To build the simulator was selected a volunteer (VF) as a model. This volunteer had no complaints of pain or trauma to the cervical region. This region was used to collect the displacement of the skin and cytometry neck.

Other: Simulator's construction

Model Features

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty-nine volunteers (GT) were selected men and women aged over 18 years without history of trauma in the cervical region in order to determine the characteristics of the model: skin elasticity and cirtometry neck.

Other: Model Features

Parameterization technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Five physiotherapists (GP) with at least 5 years of experience in the technique were selected to perform the technique on the simulator and complete a questionnaire in order to evaluate the texture and skin elasticity, the curvature and size of the cervical spine format. They scored these items from the Likert scale. After evaluation they used the simulator to generate a standard guide training.

Other: Parameterization technique

Simulator training

EXPERIMENTAL

Twenty-six volunteers (GE) were selected, men and women, aged over 18 years without prior knowledge of the technique for simulator training.

Other: Simulator training

Training Evaluation

EXPERIMENTAL

A physical therapist (VE) was selected to evaluate the volunteers (GE) before and after training in the simulator.

Other: Training Evaluation

Interventions

Simulator's construction OTHER

Model to build the mold for the simulator

Also known as: VF
