Overview
The objective of the study is to analyze whether observing the actions of a referent selected by the participants improves balance in asymptomatic individuals compared to those who observe a standard referent.
Description
Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial. The primary endpoint of the study was the balance recorded by force platform (estatic) and Y balance test (dynamic).
Setting: The participants will be healthy people in the province of Tarragona.
Participants: They will be randomly assigned to one of three groups using a computerized randomized list:
- Control Group (CG): Participants will watch a video of landscapes without human or animal movement.
- Intervention Group with Referent (GIR): Participants will observe actions whose referent has been selected by themselves based on perceived similarity.
- Standard Intervention Group (GIE): Participants will observe actions with a standard reference.
