About this trial

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of a high-speed, low-amplitude physiotherapy technique at the ankle level, when performed on amateur soccer players.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men over 18 years old

Men that played or have played soccer as an amateur or professional on a regular basis

No previous musculoskeletal history that would contraindicate HLVA techniques (recent fractures, osteosynthesis material placed in the joint, infections...)

Disqualifiers

Subjects under 18 years old

Subjects who have suffered musculoskeletal pathology in the lower limb that contraindicates manipulation or who have a medical diagnosis of chronic ankle instability

Subjects who suffer neurological or cognitive alterations that prevent the understanding of questionnaires or physical tests; and those who have not signed the informed consent documents
