Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to check the effects of manual pressure and traction technique on balance and plantar footprint variables comparing with Laser placebo.

Conditions

Healthy; Foot; Manual Therapy

Keywords

fascia; myofascial; plantar fascia; postural balance; stabilometry; platform

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• static footprint

  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

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month

• stabilometry variables eyes open

  Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform (27), participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. During all the examinations, the upper limbs were placed in a relaxed position along the body. The subjects were instructed to stand as still as possible for 30 s, with their eyes open, while concentrating on a point at eye level 2-m away or with their eyes open

  Through study completion, an average of 1 month
