Miodural Bridge Stretching in Posture Modification in Professional Footballers

Stopped: COVID-19 Lockdown

Spain0Started 2020-03-02

Plain-language summary

Fatigue influences the kinematics of the knee. Decreasing the tone of the suboccipital musculature may decrease the tone of the knee flexors. Inhibition of the suboccipital musculature is used to improve ischiosural muscle tension. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the stretching of the miodural bridge in the modification of the posture in professional soccer players of 3rd division. Randomized clinical trial. 30 players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (technique of stretching technique of the miodural bridge) and control (without intervention). A blinded evaluator will perform three evaluations: pretreatment, post-treatment and follow-up. The study variables will be: modification of posture and weight distribution (plantar pressure platform). The sample distribution will be calculated using a Kolmogórov-Smirnov analysis. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test of related samples and through an ANOVA of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula. After stretching the miodural bridge, it is expected to see improvement in posture changes.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Change from baseline posture modification after treatment and at month

Timeframe: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
