Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

Craniovertebral angle
To obtain the craniovertebral angle, the SAPO postural assessment software will be used. This angle will be measured in the sagittal plane, with the participant sitting on a chair with their feet shoulder-width apart, resting on the floor, forearms relaxed over their legs, looking at a fixed point positioned on the wall 1 meter in front of their eyes. The SAPO software will determine the angle measurement. This procedure will be carried out 3 times in order to minimize the reading error.
Immediately after the intervention.
Angle between the chin, external acoustic meatus and the sternal angle.

Interventions

Suboccipital Inhibition TechniqueOther

The researcher will place their palms under the patient's head and use their fingers to contact the occipital condyles. Next, the researcher will place the 3rd and 4th fingers of each hand in the space between the occiput and the spinous process of C2. The metacarpophalangeal joints are at 90º flexion, with the base of the skull resting on their hands while they apply constant, non-painful pressure in a postero-anterior direction, keeping the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers together in extension. Afterwards, the researcher applies a light and gentle traction in a cephalad direction in order to relieve the suboccipital area. Once the suboccipital muscles have relaxed, the researcher gently removes the contact, leaving the participant's head resting on the table. This technique is performed for 4 minutes.

Masking Details

Dual (participant, outcome assessor). Participants will be assigned codes, these codes will be randomized via the website https://www.invertexto.com/numeros-aleatorios, and randomly distributed into two groups, a control group and an experimental group, where only the principal investigator and the care provider will have access. The outcome assessors will also have no contact with the researcher and the participant during the intervention.
