Stopped: I left Unopar
The research aims to evaluate the immediate effect of the muscle energy technique (TEM) on postural control responses in the elderly and young adults. The sample will be selected for convenience, being participants of both sexes, young and old. Evaluation of postural control through the force platform will be performed during the unipodal and semi-tandem balance tests. The main parameters of postural control will be calculated using the pressure center derivative. After the balance tests, the participants will be submitted to TEM and immediately afterwards reassessed on the force platform.
