Clinical Trial Summary

Limitation of ankle dorsiflexion is directly related to pronated foot. For its treatment, plantar orthoses and manual therapy are used. There is a lack of evidence on their combination, as to when the cast should be taken after manipulation. Our hypothesis proposes that it is more effective to cast immediately after manipulation.


Description:

The popularity of long-distance running has increased because it can be practised in many settings, the low cost and the links to prevention of health problems. In running between 19-79% of runners may suffer a running-related overuse injury each year. Pronated feet have been identified as a risk factor for lower limb overuse injury, and several studies have found that ankle dorsiflexion limitation is related to pronated feet. There is a lack of evidence on their combination, as to when the cast should be taken after manipulation. Our hypothesis proposes that it is more effective to cast immediately after manipulation. The main objective is to compare the effect of manipulation with motion (MWM) performed immediately prior to casting for plantar orthoses (PO) with the effect of manipulation with motion performed one week prior to casting for plantar orthoses on ankle dorsiflexion (ankle DF) and foot pronation in runners with hyper pronator feet secondary to a limited ankle DF. This study's population will be composed by at least 16 individuals per group, both male and female, with ages among 18 and 45. They will be randomised into two groups; group A, which will undergo MWM and have the moulds taken in phenolic foam immediately after the manipulation. The other group will be group B, which will undergo the MWM, and the moulds will be taken one week after the manipulation.

Intervention

Procedure:
MWM (Mobilization with movement)
This manipulation is intended to improve ankle dorsiflexion. One session of 3 sets of 20 slow ankle dorsiflexion's separated by 10 seconds of rest will be performed.
Device:
Plantar orthoses
Procedure: MWM All participants will undergo MWM. This manipulation is intended to improve ankle dorsiflexion. One session of 3 sets of 20 slow ankle dorsiflexion's separated by 10 seconds of rest will be performed. Procedure: Plantar orthoses The moulds will be taken immediately after the manipulation. The PO will be made of resin (0.8mm +1.2mm), 2mm hard EVA heel stabiliser, 3mm semi-hard EVA cover. The PO should be worn for 3 months to obtain the results of the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from baseline dynamic degrees of ankle dorsiflexion at 12 weeks Measured with Kinovea software. The patient will be recorded running in slow motion and the peroneal malleolus, the centre of the heel by the lateral edge and the head of the V metatarsal will be marked. It will then be analysed using Kinovea software At baseline; post 1 (inmmediate); post 2 (3weeks); post 3 (6weeks) and post 4 (12weeks)
Secondary Degrees of DF of the ankle in closed kinetic chain with the Lunge Test using LegMotion Lung Test will measure the distance between the toes and the Legmotion stirrup, which has been shown to have a moderate to excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC = 0.65-0.99) with a minimum detectable change of 1.9 cm and 4.7°. At baseline; post 1 (inmmediate); post 2 (3weeks); post 3 (6weeks) and post 4 (12weeks)
Secondary Degrees of pronation in dynamics, measured with Runscribe (DP) Runsribe sensors will be placed on the runners while they run. Data will be recorded with the official Runscribe App. This method is validated by Lewin et al. At baseline; post 1 (inmmediate); post 2 (3weeks); post 3 (6weeks) and post 4 (12weeks)
Secondary Foot Function Index FFI for the assessment of pain, disability and limitation of foot function, recommended for use in both clinical and research settings. At baseline; post 1 (inmmediate); post 2 (3weeks); post 3 (6weeks) and post 4 (12weeks)
