NCT ID: NCT05744167 Recruiting - Aging Clinical Trials

Blood Flow Restriction and High-intense Resistance Training in Aging: Interactions Between Neuroplasticity and Muscle

BRAIN-M
Start date: October 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

BRAIN-M is a randomized controlled trial designed to examine the effects of a single bout or 12 weeks of blood-flow restriction training or high-intensity resistance training on cognitive function, brain health, muscular properties and physical performance in healthy older men 60-75 years old.

NCT ID: NCT04997447 Completed - Body Weight Changes Clinical Trials

Enforced Reduction in Physical Activity and Recovery in Older Adults

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

Apparently healthy and well-functioning community dwelling 70-80 year-olds will be recruited to the study. All subjects undergo pre-screening for suitability and a physicians examination, as well as 7-day habitual daily steps are measured to ascertain baseline physical activity. Half of the recruited subjects (n=40) will be randomized into the intervention group and half (n=40) randomized into the control group. The intervention group is then required to reduce their daily steps to <2000 for a 2-week period. Thereafter, the intervention group participates to a 4-week strength+endurance training rehabilitation program and no longer has restricted daily step count. The control group continues their normal habitual physical activity level throughout the 6-week study period.

NCT ID: NCT02939677 Completed - Gait, Unsteady Clinical Trials

Can Targeted Exercise Improve Knee Strength Following ACLR (RATE)

RATE
Start date: January 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is high volume surgery, carried out in about 2800 patients annually in Denmark per year. ACLR patients (using hamstring auto-graft) have persistent hamstring strength deficiency when evaluated more than 1-2 years after ACL-reconstruction. The investigators have designed this randomized controlled trial (RCT) with the main purpose to investigate the effect of a targeted muscle strength exercise intervention on the neuromuscular rehabilitation of ACLR-patients compared with 'care-as- usual'. The study is designed as a prospective, superiority, parallel-group with balanced randomization (1:1) RCT (Level of evidence: II) with blinded allocation, and outcome assessment according to the CONSORT statement (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials). 50 patients with ACL reconstruction and persistent hamstring muscle deficiency, will be recruited at the outpatient clinic 1-year follow-up, and allocated to one of two 12 weeks' interventions, either a) the supervised progressive strength and neuromuscular exercise group (SNG) with supervised training twice weekly. Or b) the control group (CON) receiving patient education based on a home-based exercise regime of low intensity, defined as 'care as usual'. Outcome measures include, maximal isometric knee flexor muscle strength (primary outcome), knee extensor strength, and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (secondary outcomes). In addition, the following explorative outcomes will be investigated; hamstring to quadriceps strength ratios, the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate tendon regeneration of the hamstrings and finally kinetic/kinematic biomechanical outcomes of knee related functional tasks. To the investigators knowledge, this is the first RCT to investigate the efficacy of combined progressive resistance training and neuromuscular exercise in the late rehabilitation phase in patients demonstrating persistent limb-to-limb knee muscle asymmetry following ACLR. Reduced hamstring strength represents a potential risk factor for secondary ligament rupture and accelerated progression of osteoarthritis (OA). If deemed effective, the intervention paradigm introduced in this study may help to improve current treatment strategies.

NCT ID: NCT02790229 Completed - Muscle Degeneration Clinical Trials

Postoperatively Treated Patients With Lower Limb Fracture With or Without an Anti-gravity Treadmill

Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The presented study is designed to prove efficacy of the anti-gravity treadmill (alter G®) compared to a standard rehabilitation protocol in patients with tibial plateau or ankle fractures with six weeks of partial weight bearing.
