Rugby Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of Core Work and Sports Bandage to Improve Ankle Instability in Rugby Players: A Pilot Study
Introduction. Lower limb injuries are characteristic of rugby players. Core exercises aim to
improve ankle stability. The ankle bandage in 8 is used in the approach to injuries to
provide better stability in the joint.
Objectives. To assess the effectiveness of an intervention through motor control and bandage
on lower limb stability in rugby players from 18 to 40 years old.
Study design. Randomized, single-blind clinical study with a follow-up period. Methodology.
Twenty-five rugby players will be recruited to be randomized to the two study groups:
experimental (specific exercises for the Core area and ankle bandage) and control (Core motor
control). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of 15min each. The study
variables will be: core motor control (measured with plate test, trunk flexion test and
modified Biering-Sorensen test) and the stability of the lower limbs (measured with Double
Heel Rise and Single Heel Rise test). A descriptive analysis will be carried out calculating
the main statistical characteristics. Through an analysis of Shapiro-Wills the normality of
the study groups will be calculated, and through an analysis with the parametric tests of
t-student and ANOVA of repeated measures, we will evaluate the difference after the
evaluations in both groups and the intra-e intersubject, respectively.
Expected results. Increased motor control of the core and stability of lower limbs.
