Effects of Pelvic Patterns of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in the Pelvic Floor Muscles

NCT03484169 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Specific patterns of PNF have been used in neurological and rheumatologic rehabilitation to improve trunk control and postural stability. However, there are no studies that analyze the effect of pelvic PNF patterns on pelvic floor muscles. We hypothesize that pelvic patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation activate the pelvic floor muscles in healthy individuals through the abdomino-pelvic synergism. Thus, the objective of the study is to analyze the effects of pelvic patterns PNF on the recruitment of pelvic floor muscles in healthy individuals.

intervention group

The training of PNF pelvic patterns for motor learning in GI will be performed twice a week by a trained and experienced researcher for six weeks (CHRISTIANSEN et al., 2017). At each training session, there will be three repeated movements in each pelvic pattern: Combination of isotonic (concentric, stabilizing and eccentric) of the anterior elevation pattern; Combination of isotonic (concentric, stabilizing and eccentric) of the posterior depression pattern; Combination of isotonic (concentric, stabilizing and eccentric) of the previous depression pattern; Combination of isotonic (concentric, stabilizing and eccentric) of the posterior elevation pattern;
