An interventional study of Vojta and Control in Abdominal Muscles, sponsored by University of Salamanca. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-09-29.
Sponsored by University of Salamanca · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
A randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control). The objective will be to determine the feasibility of the standardized intervention protocol on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) before, during and after the application of Vojta Therapy, and to know the effects produced on the Musculature studied after performing the intervention.
University of Salamanca is the lead sponsor of 110 studies on the registry; 48 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Other: Vojta
Other: Control
The subject will be placed on a stretcher with the torso uncovered. Once the adhesive electrodes have been placed in the different recording areas on the anterior part of the trunk, a recording of the activity at rest will begin, two minutes of stimulation (digital pressure), one minute of rest, two minutes of stimulation in the contralateral side and, finally, one minute of rest. The therapy consists of the application of a stimulating pressure in the pectoral area in the pattern of the locomotion complex of reflex rolling in its first phase. For this, the subject will be placed in a supine position aligned with respect to the axial axis, with the arms along the body, the lower extremities in extension, and the head extended with a rotation of approximately 30º towards one side of the stimulation. The manual stimulation pressure will be exerted in the space between the 6th-7th or the 7th-8th rib under the mammillary line, with a force of about 2 kg.

The control group will receive an application in an area with low receptor density located on the thigh, with a force of about 2 kg.
Electromyographic activity in abdominal muscles
The electromyographic activity of internal and external obliques in nanovolts will be collected before, during and after the intervention.
Time frame: Change from Baseline electromyographic activity at 7 minutes.
Date of birth
It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the age of the participant.
Time frame: Baseline
Sex
It will be registered at the beginning of the study.
Time frame: Baseline
Height
It will be registered at the beginning of the study in centimeters.
Time frame: Baseline
Weight
It will be registered at the beginning of the study in kilograms.
Time frame: Baseline
International Physical Activity Questionnaire
It will be measured at the beginning of the study to quantify the level of physical activity of the participant. This validated scale allows you to determine if you have a low, moderate or high physical level.
Time frame: Baseline
