Filter by:To investigate the efficacy of the footstrike pattern transition from rearfoot to midfoot / forefoot pattern compared to lower limb muscle strengthening exercises and lumbar spine region on decreasing the intensity of chronic musculoskeletal pain in cadets from Naval School. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with blind evaluator and allocation of participants in three parallel groups will be performed. Participating in the study, 81 cadets of the Naval Academy of Rio de Janeiro, between 18 and 24 years of age with chronic musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs or in the lumbar region and who have the rearfoot as footstrike pattern. Participants will be randomly assigned into the following groups: (1) footstrike pattern transition from rearfoot to midfoot / forefoot; (2) muscle strengthening of the lower limbs and lower back; and (3) usual treatment group. Primary treatment outcomes will be pain and specific disability measured twelve weeks after randomization. Secondary treatment outcomes will be pain and specific disability measured six and nine months after randomization. An intention-to-treat analysis will be performed using mixed linear models to compare outcomes between groups.
The study is being performed to determine the efficacy and safety of Fralex Neuromodulation Therapy (F-NMT), delivered by the Fralex PRIMA device, in reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain.
