Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cramer Sports Motion Tape and Low Back Pain EMG (NCT NCT02122445)

NCT ID: NCT02122445

Last Updated: 2016-02-09

Results Overview

3 muscles during 4 exercises (ClamsR, Sidelying, StandingAB, ForwardBend) at 3 time points (Baseline\[T1\], Immediate post\[T2\], 24hrs\[T3\]), were analyzed in 20 subjects, totaling 720 data points. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction(MVIC) was assessed using the standard manual muscle testing positions. For each subject, the EMG signals of the muscles during the exercises were smoothed, rectified and analyzed using a root-mean-square algorithm and the greatest activation of each muscle was used. After the peak activation(PA) for each muscle was determined, it was compared to the MVIC of the reference exercise for the respective muscle group, and expressed as a percent of MVIC (%MVIC). In some cases the %MVIC is greater than 100% because the MVIC was assessed during a manual muscle test position. During an exercise some muscles generated greater PA and therefore when calculated the %MVIC was greater than 100%. Due to the amount of data, we have provided the Gmax %MVIC results.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Perceived Exertion

The amount of perceived exertion was reported for each of the 4 exercises (ClamsR, Sidelying, StandingAB, ForwardBend) at 3 time points (Baseline\[T1\], Immediate post\[T2\], 24hrs\[T3\]), by 20 subjects, totaling 240 data points. This was measured using the TheraBand(R) Resistance Intensity Scale for Exercise (RISE Scale). Participants were asked to rate their perceived exertion on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no resistance and 10 being maximum resistance. The results of the 20 subjects were averaged for each exercise at each time point.
