Brief Summary

Neuromeningeal mobilization or neurodynamics is a movement-based technique whose purpose is to restore peri- and intraneural homeostasis (1). It is based on principle that nerves have to lengthen and shorten to maintain normal muscle tension and range of motion (1) This technique has been shown to be effective in recovering tissue mobility (2), reducing pain in low back pain (3) and neck pain (1) and pain intensity in the elderly, and increasing joint range of motion and muscle flexibility (4 ) Regarding balance, sciatic nerve sliding has been shown to immediately improve balance to one leg ( dinamic balance) after application in a comparative study before and after (4,5) No study has been realised in for the Posterior Tibial, Deep Peroneal, Medial Dorsocutaneous and Lateral Nerves, and no study has verificated standing balance and range of motion in ankle joint

Conditions

Postural Balance; Rehabilitation; Foot; Therapy

Keywords

Platform; neural movilization

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Variables of plantar pressures with platform before mobilization

  During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter

  Through study completion, an average of 2 days

• Variable footprint plantar surface with platform before

  For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters.

  Through study completion, an average of 2 days

• Variables of plantar pressures with platform after mobilization

  During 30 seconds we will record the plantar pressure variables in grams per square centimeter

  Through study completion, an average of 2 days

• Variable footprint plantar surface with platform after mobilization

  For 30 seconds we will record the area of the footprint in square centimeters

  Through study completion, an average of 2 days

Study Arms (1)

Experimental-

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants will be included in this arm

Other: Neural mobilization of the deep peroneal, posterior tibial and medial medial and lateral dorsocutaneous nerves.

Interventions

Neural mobilization of the deep peroneal, posterior tibial and medial medial and lateral dorsocutaneous nerves. OTHER

In lateral decubitus the patient with the help of the clinician will perform neuromeningeal mobilization of the posterior tibial dorsocutaneous lateral, intermediate and medial nerves and deep peroneal nerve too.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Participants who arrived at the clinic presenting with pain in both heels and who were diagnosed with active or latent MTrP in bilateral flexor digitorum brevis, (2) these specific MTrPs were the only MTrPs diagnosed in limb or foot, (3) all participants had a normal body mass because obesity can affect plantar pressure distribution \[28\], and (4) and had an age range of 27.96 to 36.04 (95% confidence interval \[CI\]) because body mass could also affect plantar pressures.

You may not qualify if:

• (1) Diagnosis of lower limb injury, such as plantar fasciitis, tendinopathy, bursitis, ligament injuries \[27\], (2) a history of previous lower extremity surgery \[28\], (3) participants were required not to have undergone ankle stretching or any other treatment \[23\], (4) diabetes due to possible elevation of plantar pressure, \[30\], (5) deformities of the toes, such as hammer toes and hallux valgus due to their possible alteration in plantar pressure.
