Myofascial induction technique changes plantar pressures variables compared to a simulated laser. A randomized clinical trial
Background: The fascial system is made up of large number of mechanoreceptors and cells that regulate their tension, such as myofibroblasts, in addition to an extracellular matrix.

| Sumario: | Background: The fascial system is made up of large number of mechanoreceptors and cells that regulate their tension, such as myofibroblasts, in addition to an extracellular matrix. The treatment of myofascial induction has shown in the static imprint in a quasi-experimental study comparing the effect before and after the technique, but there are no studies compared with a control with no real intervention. The objective of this research is to check the effects of the myofascial Induction technique, compared with a simulated Laser in plantar footprint variables in asymptomatic subjects. Methods: Thirty-six healthy participants were recruited to carry out a single-blind clinical study in randomizated two groups. Experimental intervention group performed a bilateral plantar fascia of Myofascial Induction technique. Control intervention group performed a simulated Laser. The time of application of the techniques were 5 min for both interventions. The variables recorded were Surface, mean pressure and maximum pressure for each region of the foot, rear foot, midfoot and fore foot. Results: Both groups were homogeneous prior to the interventions. The significant differences found later were in the forefoot surface variable (p = 0.026) where there was an increase in the area in the experimental group. Conclusions: The myofascial induction technique shows effects on the static plantar footprint by increasing the surface of the forefoot compared to the application of a simulated laser.
