About

This study map the occurrence of functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in students of the bachelor's program of physiotherapy of the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and aim on improvement of them.

Full description

The aim of this study is to map the occurrence of functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in students of the bachelor's program of physiotherapy of the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and to examine their postural functions. Another goal is to teach the students of the experimental group how to remove functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and how to change their motor behaviour and postural functions so that the development of functional disorders no longer occurs.

Enrollment: 44 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 30 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Bachelor's study of physiotherapy at the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University
• The presence of functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system (verification by means of Trigger Points)

Exclusion criteria

• Serious cardiovascular or orthopedic dysfunction
• Neurological disease
• Reduced cognitive functions complicating examination and subsequent therapy

Trial design

Primary purpose: Screening

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: Double Blind

44 participants in 2 patient groups

individual outpatient physiotherapy

Experimental group

Description:

individual outpatient physiotherapy (7 times in two and a half months, approx. 90 minutes) aimed at correcting functional pathologies of the musculoskeletal system assessed by differential diagnosis (removal of trigger points, stretching of shortened muscles and mobilization of joint blockages) and changing of motor program that led to the occurrence of the functional disorder by means of Motor Programmes Activating Therapy

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Differential diagnostic

Without changing the current habits

Active Comparator group

Description:

It will not change the existing habits. At the same time, however, these are physiotherapy students who will participate in the classes. Their motor behaviour can thus be influenced in a natural way.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: Differential diagnostic
