Resumen
La inducción miofascial ® es una técnica usada en fisioterapia cuyo objetivo es el restablecimiento del sistema fascial por la eliminación de restricciones y compresiones en el mismo sistema, presenta una creciente relevancia disciplinar por sus efectos benéficos en la movilidad tisular y articular, además en la instauración de patrones motores más eficientes y coordinados . El objetivo del estudio fue evidenciar los efectos agudos en la movilidad articular y la actividad mioeléctrica de la musculatura paraespinal y la fascia toracolumbar en adultos sanos posterior a la inducción miofascial ® comparado con el grupo placebo que recibió la simulación de la técnica y la aplicación de corriente electroterapéutica puntual. Background and objectives: Myofascial release is a technique used in physiotherapy
whose objective is to restore the fascial system by eliminating restrictions and
compressions in the same system presents a growing disciplinary relevance due to its
beneficial effects on tissue and joint mobility, in addition to the establishment of more
efficient and coordinated motor patterns. The objective of the study was to demonstrate
the acute effects on joint mobility and myoelectric activity of the paraspinal musculature
and thoracolumbar fascia in healthy adults after myofascial induction compared to the
placebo group, which achieved the simulation of the technique and the application of
punctual electrotherapeutic current.
Materials and methods: Randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial with 45
participants aged 18 - 52 years with no medical history, the intervention group with 23
participants received myofascial induction in the paravertebral musculature and the
control group with 22 participants received a placebo intervention. Lumbopelvic mobility
was evaluated through photogrammetry and myoelectric activity with surface
electromyography in the pre intervention, post intervention and follow up phases one
hour after the intervention.
Results: A single application of myofascial release on thoracolumbar fascia of the
experimental group, presented changes in the variables of FDC and EDC that were
statistically significant with a p <0.05. On the other hand, the between-group analysis
showed that the immediate changes and the follow up intervention were not statistically
significant. Regarding myoelectric activity, experimental within-group analysis neither
has statistically significant changes nor comparison with the control group.
Conclusions: The superiority of myofascial release over sham could not be
demonstrated, but statistically significant differences were found in the
photogrammetric variables of the experimental group. The results showed a decrease in
the myoelectric activity of the spinal muscles, however they were not statistically
significant and none of the changes were maintained over time.
