Trial summary
Introduction: Field hockey is a contact sport. Semiflexion asymmetric position, along with other theories such as the weakness of the extensor muscles of the back or hamstring injury, can be causes or aggravating that suelan hockey players suffer back pain. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of a Protocol Manual Therapy and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Field Hockey Players.
Introduction: Field hockey is a contact sport. Semiflexion asymmetric position, along with other theories such as the weakness of the extensor muscles of the back or hamstring injury, can be causes or aggravating that suelan hockey players suffer back pain. Objectives: To observe the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques and post-isometric stretching (PNF) after three treatment sessions. In turn, know which of the two treatments have a greater benefit and longer. Methods: The population consists of grass hockey players and senior category aged between 16-30 years. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups. Group 1 corresponded to manual therapy techniques and group 2 to PNF stretching. The study duration for each subject was 5 sessions that included 3 treatment and 3 assessments. Each evaluation consisted of goniometry, balance test using the Sit and Reach, and Roland Morris questionnaire.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Manual TherapyOther
The patient remained lying on the gurney and the treatment was performed in the order set forth below and included: overall bilateral manipulation of L5-S1-Sacroiliac, subsequently decompression hip joint, the tibiofemoral decompression, stretching rotators hip flexion or hip and knee mobilization technique downing head and base of the fibula, tibiofibular-talus tali posteriorización decompression and with the help of a wedge to facilitate technical.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitationOther
Stretching were conducted in the hamstrings, psoas, adductors, pyramidal, quadriceps and right above.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Therapy | Experimental | The objective of treatment is to restore esta possible limitation of global mobility to major lower limb joints and remove any tensions from the musculature involved in a relevant way in this sport. Receives: Other: Manual Therapy |
| Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation | Active comparator | It is a stretching technique with the aim of increasing the ROM. It includes passive static stretching and contract-relax. Receives: Other: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dynamic balance
Was assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Which bilateral in the above (A), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) Were used reach directions.
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Active Range of Moviment
Goniometry of both legs with universal goniometer external and internal rotation of the hip, hip flexion, knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion.
Measured: 6 weeks
Lumbar flexibility
Was assessed using the Fingertip-to-Floor Test (FFT). Subjects were placed barefoot over a 25-cm high platform, with feet together and flat, and toes on the edge pointing forward. Then, they were asked to bend the trunk from the upright position as far as possible without discomfort, while maintaining knees and arms fully extended. Flexion was held for 3 seconds and the vertical distance between the tip of the middle finger and the platform was measured.
Measured: 6 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Dynamic balance (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
