Myofascial Induction Effects on Stabilometry Versus Sham Laser

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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)

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Stabilometry variable eyes open before Sham Laser or Myofascial Induction | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º from the midline. Stabilometric variables measure the displacement of the center of pressures in X (in millimeters) with the eyes open. | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | 
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before Sham Laser or Myofascial indution | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned 30º from the midline. The stabilometry variables measure the displacement of the center of pressures in Y (in millimeters) with the eyes open. | Through study completion, an average of 1 week | 
| Stabilometry variables eyes open before Sham Laser or Myofascial indution | Stabilometry assessment was used and subjects were instructed to stand barefoot on the force platform, participants were instructed to remain in a relaxed standing posture with feet shoulder-width apart and positioned at 30º away from the midline. Stabilometry variables measure displacement of the center of Pressure (COP) area (in millimeters²) with eyes open. | Through study completion, an average of 1 week |
