Miodural Bridge Stretching in Posture Modification in Professional Footballers

Fatigue influences the kinematics of the knee. Decreasing the tone of the suboccipital musculature may decrease the tone of the knee flexors. Inhibition of the suboccipital musculature is used to improve ischiosural muscle tension. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the stretching of the miodural bridge in the modification of the posture in professional soccer players of 3rd division. Randomized clinical trial. 30 players will be randomized to the two study groups: experimental (technique of stretching technique of the miodural bridge) and control (without intervention). A blinded evaluator will perform three evaluations: pretreatment, post-treatment and follow-up. The study variables will be: modification of posture and weight distribution (plantar pressure platform). The sample distribution will be calculated using a Kolmogórov-Smirnov analysis. The changes after each evaluation will be analyzed with the t-student test of related samples and through an ANOVA of repeated measures the intra and intersubject effect will be observed. The effect size will be calculated using Cohen's formula. After stretching the miodural bridge, it is expected to see improvement in posture changes.
