Massage Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Reproducibility and Consistency of Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation
The overall purpose of this study is to objectively describe and test the consistency and reproducibility of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM).The specific aims of this current study are to: 1. Analyze IASTM stroke patterns using objective metrics; 2. Test the consistency of force application, with and without visual monitoring of objective metrics, and; 3. Determine the reliability of dynamic pressure pain threshold assessment. The ultimate goal of this continuing line of research is to improve soft tissue manual therapy practice in research, education, and clinic for use as a non-invasive modality in soft tissue assessment and treatment. Results from this protocol will inform future clinical trials, including studies exploring the effects of different IASTM dose-loads in various musculoskeletal pain conditions.
This is a single-site study consisting of three study phases. Phase I will observe and analyze clinician's application of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM) as a means to identify signature profiles for the stroke rate, angle, and direction that are characteristic of basic (e.g., linear, curved) stroke patterns. Phase II will assess the consistency of IASTM force application. Phase III will assess the reliability of dynamic pressure pain threshold assessment. Clinician participants (Phase I) will attend one study visit consisting of basic linear and curved IASTM stroke pattern applications and complete a questionnaire. Total study duration for clinician participants will be 90 minutes. Non-clinician subjects will attend two study visits (Phase II) or one study visit (Phase III). Visits will consist of completion of questionnaires, application of IASTM strokes by a clinician using the QSTM device, and stretching. ;
