Myofascial Induction Effects on Stabilometry Versus Sham Laser

Effects of Myofascial Induction Technique in Stabilometry Plantar Fascia Compared to a Placebo Laser

The objective is to determine the effectiveness of myofascial induction effects on stabilometric variables. Forty healthy subjects will be recruited for a single blind clinical trial. All subjects will be randomly distributed into two different groups: control group (simulated laser) and experimental group (myofascial induction). Result measurements will be performed in the center of the pressure area (stabilometry) using a validated platform. Two trials will be recorded for each condition (eyes closed and eyes open)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy individuals without pain.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous lower extremities surgery
• History of lower extremities injury with residual symptoms within the last year
