Non Motoric Reactions in Vojta Reflex Locomotion — VojtaRL  

Locomotion Disorder, Neurologic Clinical Trial

Official title: Relationship Between Stress and Anxiety Levels and Ratings of Accompanying Non-occupational Symptoms in Vojta's Comprehensive RL Response

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Monitoring of non-motor manifestations of reflex locomotion according to Professor Vojta in laboratory conditions on healthy woman probands.

Clinical Trial Description

The accompanying non-local manifestations during a maximum of 20 minutes of pressure stimulation of the zones defined by the concept of Professor Vojta will be observed. We will also examine the possible correlation between the magnitude of the response to Vojta Reflex Locomotion (VRL) and the degree of stress and anxiety on the part of the study participants. Approximately 20-30 participants will take part in the research. Manual stimulation of defined zones will be performed by an experienced physiotherapist who has successfully completed a course in the Vojta method. A Trigno Wireless EMG System Delsys device will be used to measure electrical muscle activity. Kistler force plates and a pliance-x® sensing system pedobarography device will be used to measure changes in standing. The SP-10 Pocket Spirometer Gima and wireless ECG will be used to measure changes in breathing and circulation. In addition, the DASS-42 and POMS questionnaires will be used. The aim of the study is to clarify whether during manual pressure stimulation of the zones defined by the above concept there is a change in electrical muscle activity, specific activity of the autonomic nervous system and whether there is a different partial pressure distribution in standing after the stimulation. Last but not least, the aim of the study is also to determine a possible correlation between the response rate to VRL and the level of stress and anxiety on the part of the study participants. All probands will be familiarized with the experimental measurement procedure and will sign an informed consent form prior to the start of the experiment. Measurements will be taken in the kinesiology laboratory of Physiotherapy department. ;
