Osteopathic Intervention in Professional Handball Players — ECHODIAPOST  

Osteopathia Clinical Trial

Official title: Ultrasound Evaluation of Diaphragmatic Contractility After Manual Osteopathic Intervention in Professional Handball Players: a Pilot Study

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim is to study the effectiveness of a common osteopathic intervention in professional handball players on diaphragmatic contractility and its correlations with posture. This study has never been done in healthy subjects. It is a scientific process of objectification of an osteopathic technique commonly performed in this population. The main objective is to assess diaphragmatic contractibility using ultrasound after abdominal osteopathic intervention (OMT).

Clinical Trial Description

The context is that of optimizing the performance of professional handball players. The aim is to study the effectiveness of a common osteopathic intervention in professional handball players on diaphragmatic contractility and its correlations with posture. This study has never been done in healthy subjects. It is a scientific process of objectification of an osteopathic technique commonly performed in this population.

The main objective is to assess diaphragmatic contractibility after abdominal osteopathic intervention (OMT).

The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of this manual intervention in professional handball players on:

• other diaphragmatic ultrasound data

• on spirometry

• postural control

Prospective pilot non-interventional controlled monocentric study opened in healthy male and female International players who are part of the French Handball team. Approach to objectification of current practice. ;
