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.

Conditions

• Hamstring Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Manual therapy	The patient will be lying supine, relaxed. The physiotherapist, located at the patient's head, will cover the occipital bone with one hand while the palm of the hand will rest on the lambdoid suture, and the fingers will be introduced into the suboccipital space. The other hand, with a glove, will be inserted into the patient's oral cavity, resting respectively the index and middle fingers, each in an upper dental hemiarchy, on the chewing face of the tooth. An axial traction will be carried out until the three tension barriers of equal size between them are overcome, in an estimated time between 1.50 and 3 minutes. All manual therapy sessions will be performed by the same physiotherapist, following the same protocol and under the same conditions.
