Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in thoracic rotation mobility
Change from baseline rotation, left and right, to rotation immediately after the test
Before and immediately after the test
Study Arms (2)
Stretching of intrathoracic fascia
EXPERIMENTALA technique will be used to stretch the intrathoracic fascia. The subject lies in his/her back, and a flexion of the upper cervical spine is combined with a retraction movement of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine, this in combination with inspiration.
Test without stretching
PLACEBO COMPARATORA placebo technique is performed by positioning the hands of the therapist on the thorax without pressure or performing a technique. Similar as the stretching technique, a deep inspiration is performed by the patient, for each of the intrathoracic cilinders. This without performing a retraction of the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine.
Interventions
Measuring the thoracic rotation mobility with a goniometer, from a standardized position
