About

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.

25 participants in 2 patient groups

Experimental

Experimental group

Description:

Before carrying out each session of the intervention, each subject included in the experimental group will have a sports bandage on both ankles. The intervention by motor control will consist of the application of a series of Core exercises. The exercises will be carried out with the subjects in different positions of prone, lateral and supine position, for the Core musculature. The exercises will be repeated 10 times each and there will be 8 different exercises: roll up, mermaid, raised crossed, stretch two leg back, shoulder bridge and leg pull up. The duration of each session will be 15 minutes, with two sessions per week, during a period of 4 weeks.
