NCT ID: NCT05714163 Active, not recruiting - Muscle Weakness Clinical Trials

Effects of Ai Chi on Scapular Muscle Activation in Overhead Athletes With Scapular Dyskinesis

Start date: October 16, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Scapular dyskinesis (SD) is common in overhead athletes and negatively influence the athletes' performance, increasing the risk of shoulder injury. The kinetic chain (KC) exercises for SD rehabilitation that emphasize importance of core strength and scapula stability during skillful performance. Ai Chi, the aquatic exercises performed in functional positions, which are adequate for power transfer of KC. This study will investigate the effect of KC-based water exercises, Ai Chi, on scapular muscles in overhead athletes with SD.

NCT ID: NCT05506579 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Urinary Incontinence

Prevention and Treatment of Injuries and Urinary Incontinence Among Norwegian Rhythmic Gymnasts

Start date: August 22, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Overuse injuries are common among competitive Norwegian rhythmic gymnasts with a mean weekly prevalence of 37% [95% CI: 36 - 39%] and incidence of 4.2 new overuse injuries [95% CI: 3.6 - 4.9] per gymnast per year (Gram, M., Clarsen, B., & Bø, K., 2021). The knees, lower back and hip/groin were the most common injury locations. It has been postulated that reduced physical capacity (e.g strength, flexibility, stability) in the knees, lower back and hip/groin can increase the risk of injuries in rhythmic gymnastics. In addition, more than 30% of the Norwegian rhythmic gymnasts experience urinary incontinence (UI), and 70% reported that UI negatively affected sports performance (Gram, M., & Bø, K., 2020). Few of the rhythmic gymnasts had any knowledge about the pelvic floor. Hence, this assessor blinded cluster randomized controlled trial aims to find out whether the implementation of exercises targeting reduced physical capacity and pelvic floor dysfunction can prevent/reduce the prevalence of overuse injuries and UI.
