The Immediate Effects of Spinal Manipulative Therapy on Kinetic and Kinematic Symmetry.

Asymptomatic Condition Clinical Trial

Official title:
Immediate Effects of Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) on Kinetic and Kinematic Symmetry on Functional Performance Tests: a Test-retest, Single-blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Clinical Trial Summary

Athletes have been exposed to an ever increasing training load and subsequent biomechanical overload due to a constant demand for performance enhancement. As a result, it is observed an increased rate of musculoskeletal problems, including spinal biomechanical dysfunctions that are often asymptomatic. These dysfunctions are believed to negatively influence a wide range of mechanical and physiological parameters such as muscle strength, range of motion, and symmetry, what could potentially influence sports performance.

Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) is a safe and effective therapy for musculoskeletal disorders that has been increasingly utilized in sports. SMT purpose is to correct spinal joints biomechanical dysfunctions using a high-velocity, low-amplitude movement, applied at the paraphysiological space, beyond the passive joint range of motion.

Kinetic and kinematic symmetry can be measured in commonly utilized physical functional tests often used as indicators of athlete's performance. Symmetry Index calculation is used to verify bilateral asymmetries in static and dynamic tests.

Clinical Trial Description

Therefore, the objective of this randomized controlled trial study is to measure the immediate effects of lumbar SMT on kinetic and kinematic symmetry of asymptomatic athletes, through of the use of three commonly used functional tests: Static posture, Free Squat, and Countermovement Jump (CMJ) are often used as indicators of athlete's performance. These quantitative data is important to assess training effectiveness and prevention/ rehabilitation programs outcomes. To our knowledge this is the first study on literature that measured the immediate effects of SMT on kinetic and kinematic symmetry. ;
