Static Stretching on Postural Sway and Plantar Pressures
A study testing Intermittent stretching protocol and Continuous stretch in people with Muscle Stretching Exercise; Postural Balance; Stabilometry; Platform, run by Universidad de León at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Risk for falls has been associated with falls efficacy and postural balance. The objective was to compare the effects on the footprint and the stabilometry of the continuous stretch and the intermittent. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Acute Effects of Intermittent Versus Continuous Bilateral Ankle Plantar Flexors Static Stretching on Postural Sway and Plantar Pressures During Standing
Risk for falls has been associated with falls efficacy and postural balance. The objective was to compare the effects on the footprint and the stabilometry of the continuous stretch and the intermittent. Subjects were randomly assigned to an intermittent stretching protocol group or continuous stretch group both of them loading passive plantar flexor stretching. Static footprint and stabilometry were measured before and after both protocols.
- Being tested
- Intermittent stretching protocol, Continuous stretch
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intermittent stretching protocolOther
Intermittent stretching protocol of five sets of 1 minute and15 second rest
Continuous stretchOther
2 minutes continuous stretch
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intermittent stretching protocol | Experimental | Intermittent stretching protocol including five sets at 1 minute and 15 second rest. Receives: Other: Intermittent stretching protocol |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Intermittent stretching protocol and Continuous stretch in people with Muscle Stretching Exercise; Postural Balance; Stabilometry; Platform, run by Universidad de León at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?

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?
Foot plantar pressure (time frame: Change from foot plantar pressure at 2 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03743168, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Nov 2018.
