Effect of Attentional Touch in Stabilometric Assessments

"15-minute treatment using constant touch (0.20 N, approx. 20 grams) developed after training with visual feedback.~* 5 minutes bilateral touch on external malleolus~* 5 minutes longitudinal occipital front grip for reciprocal tension membrane movement and Sutherland's fulcrum~* 5 minutes bilateral touch on acromion, for midline, centring diaphragms~Throughout the treatment, the practitioner maintained a focused attention on touch by voluntarily and constantly directing attention to the sensation/perception of the hands, perceiving texture, density, temperature, reactivity and motility of the tissue."

The beeps were delivered at random intervals between 0.5 and 2.0 seconds. The operator had to count the number of acoustic signals produced during the treatment period."
