Overview

In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of manual therapy on the thoracic spine and its impact on the muscular strength gain of the thoracic extensors. Treatment with manual therapy, as described by Maitland, consists of a specific mobilization of the thoracic spine in the postero-anterior direction on the transverse and spiny processes of the thoracic vertebrae. To ensure the relevance of the measures, and to better control the occurrence of biases inherent to the practice of manual therapy, the investigators constituted three distinct groups: an intervention group, a control group and a group without intervention. In short, this methodology will allow us to explore in detail the effects of specific spinal mobilization on motor control, while taking into account placebo response elements and natural variations in the results

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
