Summary

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the immediate effect of manual stimulation on the foot plant in static and dynamic balance in young healthy subjects. In addition, the secondary objectives of this study were: 1) to identify whether manual stimulation of the foot plant in healthy young subjects, carried out with an easily reproducible protocol with 10 minutes duration, improves static balance, measured with Unipedal Stance Test; 2) to assess whether, manual stimulation of the foot plant in healthy young subjects, carried out with an easily reproducible protocol with 10 minutes duration, improves dynamic balance test, measured with Star Excursion Balance Test.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Plantar stimulation

The manipulation was performed with the subject in the supine position. The intervention lasted ten minutes and consisted of four stages: 5 glide pressures focused on each interdigital space, that lasted 10 seconds in duration, 5 compression-decompression of each metatarsophalangeal joint, 5 glide pressures applied for 5 seconds each, on the region of metatarsal heads, 5 static pressures applied for 10 seconds each, focused on four points of the sole.
