Brief Summary

The aim is to study the effectiveness of a common osteopathic intervention in professional handball players on diaphragmatic contractility and its correlations with posture. This study has never been done in healthy subjects. It is a scientific process of objectification of an osteopathic technique commonly performed in this population. The main objective is to assess diaphragmatic contractibility using ultrasound after abdominal osteopathic intervention (OMT).

Conditions

Osteopathia

Keywords

diaphragm; ultrasound; contractibility; osteopathic intervention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Variation in the fraction of diaphragm thickening (right and left) measured on ultrasound before and after the procedure

  The subject undergoes the ultrasound which will investigate the contractility of the diaphragm muscle. Two expert sonographers from G-ECHO will perform the ultrasound on each of the athletes, and note 3 successive measurements to check the stability of the results.

  Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• expiratory diaphragmatic thickness

  Day 1

• Variation of the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measured in spirometry before and after the intervention

  Day 1

• Postural analysis

  Day 2

• Inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness

  day 1

• diaphragmatic contraction velocity

  day 1

Study Arms (1)

experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention evaluated is a technique of prolonged abdominal manual pressure centered on the zone of restriction of mobility called "trigger point" with diaphragmatic aim.

Procedure: manual osteopathic intervention

Interventions

manual osteopathic intervention PROCEDURE

The subject sits on the examination table for the manual osteopathic intervention. The expert osteopath, having no report from the sonographers, will manually test breathing diaphragmatic and will bring osteopathic manual treatment to the area of mobility restriction
