Effectiveness of EE With Vibration Versus Cryotherapy in Rectus Abdomini Muscle Thickness and Inter-recti Distance

Effectiveness of Eccentric Exercise With a Vibration Program Versus Cryotherapy in Rectus Abdomini Muscle Thickness and Inter-recti Distance in Patients With Chronic Mid Portion Achilles Tendinopathy: A Randomized Clinical Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 61 (actual)
• Sponsor: Universidad Europea de Madrid · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determinate de efectiveness of eccentric exercise combined with vibration or cryotherapy in achilles tendinopathy and its effects on the anterior rectus abdominis muscle. The investigators hypothesis is the combined eccentric exercise with vibration get better results than cryotherapy with eccentric exercise in rectus abdominis muscle parameters.

Conditions

• Achilles Tendinopathy
• Diastasis Recti

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Cryotherapy and eccentric exercise	12 weeks, 5 days/week, once a day, 2 exercise, 3 sets/execise, 15 repetition/set of eccentric exercise of foot plantar flexors First exercise with knee in extension, second exercise with knee in flexion. Previously subjects should cold their leg in ice water during sexteen minutes at a temperature of 8ºC (+/-2ºC)
PROCEDURE	Vibration and eccentric exercise	12 weeks, 5 days/week, once a day, 2 exercise, 3 sets/execise, 15 repetition/set of eccentric exercise of foot plantar flexors First exercise with knee in extension, second exercise with knee in flexion.During the exercise subjects will be subjected to vibration. Vibrations parameters: Frequency: 35Hz, Amplitude: 4 milimeters, Force: 3,9G
