Brief Summary

The aim of the study will be tried to observe if the propioceptive Stabilizer training is effective in abdominal wall muscles in healthy subjects. All the participants will be examined in two times. Initially, baseline measurements with ultrasound imaging will be taken without muscle activity. After, they will do the abdominal manoeuvre and it will take the ultrasound images.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

ultrasound imaging; propioception; training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Thickness abdominal wall muscles

  The measure for the thickness during the rest condition will be perform by the mean of 3 repeated values for each measure at the end of expiration, maintaining the transducer at the same point. IRD will be only evaluated in the midline. Muscle thickness will be considered as the distance between the inside caliper lines of each muscle border. Interrecti distance will be described as the distance between the inside caliper lines of each Rectus Anterioris muscles.

Interventions

Propioceptive training of the abdominal wall muscles OTHER

At the beginning, patients will be in a supine position, the lower edge of the StabilizerTM will be placed between the posterior superior iliac spines, aligned with the sacral base. Abdominal manoeuvre will be developed by the patients until they reach 40 mmHg and hold steadily for 10 seconds. Prior the examination, each subject practiced the abdominal manoeuvre three times with an ultrasound image feedback.
