Clinical Trial Summary

The central nervous system (CNS) coordinates balance through the visual, vestibular, and somatoproprioceptive systems, which produce muscle activation for postural control. Among the important muscle activations for postural control are those produced in the ankle joint, which is crucial for maintaining postural control in sports settings, along with the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Studies show that children who practice sports improve their postural stability and accelerate sensory maturation, which can affect the development of the lower limb extremity, specifically the insertional musculature of the ankle and foot. The present study aims to analyze postural control in school-aged children with triceps suralis retraction and assess the effectiveness of treatment with stretching versus a heel pad for 3 and 6 months. Additionally, the study will analyze whether the physical activity the children engage in influences their stability


Clinical Trial Description

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using a heel pad and a gastrocnemius and soleus stretching protocol. The outcomes of both interventions will be evaluated and compared, including pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments at 3 months and 6 months. ;
