NCT04628299

Brief Summary

The objective is to determine the effectiveness of myofascial Induction effects on plantar pressures variables. Forty healthy subjects will be recruited for a simple blind clinical trial. All subjects will be randomly distributed in two different groups: control group (sham Laser) and experimental group (myofascial Induction). Outcome measurements will be foot plantar pressure area (footprint) by a validated platform. Two trials will be recorded before and after intervention in standing position.
