NCT ID: NCT06396741 Recruiting - Muscle Tightness Clinical Trials

Changes in the Quadriceps Muscle After Dry Needling Treatment

Start date: May 2, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study aims to examine the mechanical changes following dry needling of the quadriceps muscle. To this end, structural and mechanical changes in quadriceps muscle activity will be measured using M-mode ultrasound. The quadriceps muscle strength will also be assessed with dynamometry. In addition, the knee joint range will be checked by means of a goniometry procedure. The subjects will be assessed before and after the application of a dry needling technique on the quadriceps muscle to determine possible changes in the measured variables.

NCT ID: NCT05619887 Not yet recruiting - Dyspnea Clinical Trials

Muscle Reflex Inhibition in Hypoxic Exercise

Start date: June 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this interventional study is to compare muscle reflex function under settings of normoxia (normal oxygen level), acute hypoxia (brief oxygen-lack) and chronic hypoxia (long-duration exposure to oxygen-lack). The main question is: Does the muscle reflex adapt to chronic hypoxia? Young, healthy participants will complete light-to-high intensity cycling exercise with and without suppression of the muscle reflex. Suppression of the muscle reflex will be via spinal administration of the opioid Fentanyl. In the control condition, saline will be administered into the spinal space. Participants will complete control (saline) and experimental (Fentanyl) exercise conditions at sea-level (Kelowna, BC, Canada) breathing room air and whilst breathing a lower fraction of oxygen (acute hypoxia). Thereafter, participants will complete the exercise test after living at high altitude (White Mountain, CA, USA) for 2 weeks whilst breathing room air (chronic hypoxia) and breathing a higher fraction of oxygen (restored normoxia).

NCT ID: NCT05389384 Active, not recruiting - Fatigue Clinical Trials

The Effect of a Passive Shoulder Exoskeleton and Muscle Fatigue on Occupational Work Performance

Start date: August 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this investigation, participants perform simulated occupational work during which the task performance will be logged. This research investigates the effect of peripheral fatigue and a passive shoulder exoskeleton on the task performance.

NCT ID: NCT05335343 Recruiting - Frailty Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Healthy Eating and Intrinsic Capacity in Elderly Individuals

Start date: April 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between intrinsic capacity and healthy eating in elderly individuals.

NCT ID: NCT05220969 Completed - Clinical trials for Genetic Predisposition

Total Genotype Score, Growth, Maturation and Loading Exposure as Risk Factors for Injury in Elite Male Youth Football

Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A total genotype risk score was generated based on the findings of previous research for non-contact injury, non-contact muscle injury, tendon injury, ligament injury, fracture injury and apophysitis injury. This score was then compared with the incidence of injury between those with high, medium and low risk scores for each injury. The influence of different rates of growth, stages of physical maturation and loading exposure were then also included in the risk model to see if any interaction effects could be observed between genetic risk score and susceptibility to injury in different categories of growth, maturation and loading exposure.

NCT ID: NCT05116332 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Comparing the Variation in Laparoscopic Skills Acquisition in Obstetrics & Gynaecology and General Surgical Trainees

LAGGS
Start date: September 11, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The investigators postulate that there is a difference in the acquisition of Fundamental Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) between general surgical and Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) trainees. This discrepancy is also likely to influence the musculoskeletal and cognitive fatigue trainees experience within both specialties. Additionally there is likely to be a discrepancy in the expectations of consultants and trainees on skills perceived to be important at the completion of training (CCT). This study aims to compare and evaluate the discrepancy in FLS acquisition amongst O&G and GS trainees in order to identify areas for improvements in the training pathway, the associated fatigue experience and highlight the expectations perceived to be required at the completion of training.

NCT ID: NCT05111652 Not yet recruiting - Electromyography Clinical Trials

Electromyographic Assessment of the Shoulder Stabilizing Musculature in CrossFit® Athletes

Start date: November 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is an observational analytical study of prevalent cases and controls.

NCT ID: NCT05041868 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Scleroderma

Start date: October 15, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Scleroderma (or Systemic Sclerosis - SSc) is one of the most neglected diseases worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. In the adult population with SS, the systemic effects of the disease, such as respiratory and peripheral muscle dysfunction, cause a decrease in quality of life. As a consequence, there is a concern about functional rehabilitation, since the aging of this population is already a reality. Thus, the objective of this project is to evaluate the effects of functional rehabilitation on functional capacity and quality of life in women over 18 years of SS. In this longitudinal intervention study, patients will be submitted to a three-month rehabilitation program. Before and after the intervention, patients will be submitted to the following assessments: Cochin Hand Functional Scale (CHFS), Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36); Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (SHAQ-DI); lung function; lung ultrasound; handgrip; Glittre Activities of Daily Living test. Thus, it is expected that patients with SS will benefit significantly, with a consequent improvement in musculoskeletal function and , functional capacity and health-related quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT03966690 Completed - Muscle Strain Clinical Trials

Rate of Leg Curl to Leg Press During Isokinetic Testing

Start date: August 15, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The functional condition of the leg muscles is not only relevant to performance in sports, but is also of great importance in health, prevention and rehabilitation, where not only the general strength level is decisive but also the relationship between individual muscle groups. Among other things the H-Q-ratio (strength ratio of "hamstring" muscles to quadriceps muscles) is often used to diagnose possible imbalances. Isokinetic force measurements have established themselves as the gold standard in competitive football. In this context, however, force tests in the open kinetic chain (OKC) have almost exclusively been used so far. Especially force measurements in the closed kinetic chain (CKC) could have a higher relevance regarding functionality. The H-Q-ratio should better be called the flex-ext-ratio in the CKC due to the involvement of the hip muscles. There is little data in the literature on leg force or flex-ext-ratio in CKC. In particular, there is hardly any comparative data for isokinetic measurement systems in the CKC. Using a cross over design and randomly allocating 28 competitive football players into two groups (n=14 each) that either started tests with the leg press or legcurl device, the investigators assumed (1) a significantly lower flex-ext-ratio in the CKC compared to the OKC, (2) a correlation between the isokinetic measurement systems in the OKC and the CKC, and (3) a significant superiority of the leg press to predict functional performance of the lower limbs.

Efficacy of Lower Limb Exercises on Overactive Bladder Symptoms in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: February 2018
Phase: N/A
