Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effects of Reaching Task Following Selective Trunk Stability Exercise (NCT NCT05767437)
NCT ID: NCT05767437
Last Updated: 2025-05-23
Results Overview
We defined hand movement onset as the time when tangential velocity exceeded 10% of peak velocity and movement offset as when it fell below 10%. Participants who received that particular intervention during the entire course of the study. Effect of Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver (AIDM) exercise and Shan therapy. Dislocation distance in millimeters(mm) for reaching phase

NA
20 participants
Baseline, two period(each 4weeks), wash out(4weeks)

Participant Flow
4 participants dropped out during the washout period, leading to a smaller sample size and uneven group distribution in period 2.

Abdominal drawing-in Maneuver Exercise, Afterward Sham Therapy(Conventional Physiotherapy)
Participants first received Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes for additional 10 min with conventional therapy. Afterward a washout period of one month, they then received sham therapy (conventional therapy\_release pain or upper limb mobilization) 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes.
Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise: From the supine position to the hook-lying position (hip joint at 40 degrees and the knee joint at 80 degrees) and pull the navel deeply to the lumbar region through the Stabilizer™ Pressure Biofeedback that stabilize transversus abdominis muscle. At this time, subjects are controlled to maintain contraction while keep breathing lightly, to contract slowly, also to not move the pelvis and chest while exercising
sham: Release pain or upper limb mobilization

Participants first received Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes for additional 10 min with conventional therapy. Afterward a washout period of one month, they then received sham therapy (conventional therapy\_release pain or upper limb mobilization) 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Each session is 40 minutes.
Abdominal drawing-in maneuver exercise: From the supine position to the hook-lying position (hip joint at 40 degrees and the knee joint at 80 degrees) and pull the navel deeply to the lumbar region through the Stabilizer™ Pressure Biofeedback that stabilize transversus abdominis muscle. At this time, subjects are controlled to maintain contraction while keep breathing lightly, to contract slowly, also to not move the pelvis and chest while exercising
sham: Release pain or upper limb mobilization

0/16 • 4 weeks after baseline measurement and after 4 weeks after period 2
Participants were monitored during exercise sessions for potential adverse events. Due to the nature of the basic abdominal exercises with conventional physiotherapy implemented in this study, no adverse events (including all-cause mortality, serious adverse events, or other adverse events) were observed or reported. The low-risk nature of the basic abdominal exercises with conventional physiotherapy contributed to this outcome. Adverse events were monitored/assessed, but none were observed
