About this study
Official title: Electromyographic Response Control in the Application of Vojta Therapy in the Abdominal Muscles of Healthy Young Adults
A randomized clinical trial on a cohort of healthy subjects of legal age, both sexes, recruited from the university community and who will be randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control). The objective will be to determine the feasibility of the standardized intervention protocol on the stabilizing muscles of the trunk (external oblique and internal oblique) before, during and after the application of Vojta Therapy, and to know the effects produced on the Musculature studied after performing the intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
VojtaOther
The subject will be placed on a stretcher with the torso uncovered. Once the adhesive electrodes have been placed in the different recording areas on the anterior part of the trunk, a recording of the activity at rest will begin, two minutes of stimulation (digital pressure), one minute of rest, two minutes of stimulation in the contralateral side and, finally, one minute of rest.
The therapy consists of the application of a stimulating pressure in the pectoral area in the pattern of the locomotion complex of reflex rolling in its first phase. For this, the subject will be placed in a supine position aligned with respect to the axial axis, with the arms along the body, the lower extremities in extension, and the head extended with a rotation of approximately 30º towards one side of the stimulation. The manual stimulation pressure will be exerted in the space between the 6th-7th or the 7th-8th rib under the mammillary line, with a force of about 2 kg.
ControlOther
The subject will be placed on a stretcher with the torso uncovered. Once the adhesive electrodes have been placed in the different recording areas on the anterior part of the trunk, a recording of the activity at rest will begin, two minutes of stimulation (digital pressure), one minute of rest, two minutes of stimulation in the contralateral side and, finally, one minute of rest.
The control group will receive an application in an area with low receptor density located on the thigh, with a force of about 2 kg.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Electromyographic activity in abdominal muscles
The electromyographic activity of internal and external obliques in nanovolts will be collected before, during and after the intervention.
Measured: Change from Baseline electromyographic activity at 7 minutes.
Secondary outcomes (5)
Date of birth
It will be registered at the beginning of the study in order to calculate the age of the participant.

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 29 Sep 2021. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Electromyographic activity in abdominal muscles (time frame: Change from Baseline electromyographic activity at 7 minutes.). 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
