Efficacy of myofascial induction compared with its simulation on joint amplitude in people with axial spondylarthritis: Protocol of a randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) produces structural changes that cause alterations in body functions. One tissue that seems to have a predictive role in the etiology and progression of the disease is the soft tissue, particularly the fascia. However, little is known about the use of myofascial induction in people with AxSpA, and clinical evidence from physiotherapy regarding potential strategies is limited.

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of myofascial induction compared with its simulation on joint amplitude in people with AxSpA.

Methods

In this randomized controlled parallel superiority clinical trial, 84 people with an AxSpA diagnosis confirmed by a rheumatologist will be randomly assigned to groups: the experimental group or the control group. The ex
