Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction. The lumbar region is one of the locations with the highest incidence of injuries in the paddle players. The crossed hands myofascial technique is used to release the restrictions of the thoracolumbar fascia, improving its mobility. The electrotherapy technique of TENS consists in the application of a low frequency current for the recovery, capitalization and oxygenation of the muscle, thus improving mobility and pain.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of an intervention by electrotherapy combined with myofascial therapy, in the lumbar region, for a mobility improvement in older paddle-tennis federated players.

Study design. Randomized, multicenter, simple blind, clinical trial with follow-up period.

Methods. 30 players paddle will be assigned to the two study groups: experimental (intervention through therapy myofascial and electrotherapy) and control (intervention by electrotherapy). The intervention will have a duration of 4 weeks, with 2 sessions per week, lasting 15 minutes. There will be three evaluations: pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up. The variable of study is the mobility of the lumbar spine in the movements of flexion and extension (assessed by the employment of tests of Schober and Fingertip-to-floor). The analysis of normality be performed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnof, and in case of homogeneity of the groups is used in parametric tests: test t-student for paired data (difference between the different assessments) and ANOVA of mean repeated (intra-and intersujeto).

Expected results. Improvement of the mobility of the lumbar spine in the movements of flexion and extension.
