Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the acute effects of local vibration applied after induced fatigue of the wrist flexor muscles on grip strength and upper extremity reaction time.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This randomized controlled study will be conducted with a minimum of 42 participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, 50 Hz local vibration, or 100 Hz local vibration.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sham Vibration Group

In this group, sham vibration will be administered following the muscle fatigue protocol. The vibration device will be activated but positioned close to the muscle without direct contact for a duration of 10 minutes. Participants will be told that they are receiving treatment with an electromagnetic vibration device.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham Local Vibration

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this group will receive sham vibration following the muscle fatigue protocol. The vibration device will be turned on but held near the muscle without making contact for 10 minutes. Participants will be informed that they are being treated with an electromagnetic vibration device.

50 Hz Local Vibration Intervention Group

Participants in this group will receive 50 Hz local vibration following the muscle fatigue protocol. The local vibration will be applied along the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle for a duration of 10 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

50 Hz Local Vibration

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this group will receive 50 Hz local vibration along the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle for a duration of 10 minutes.

100 Hz Local Vibration Intervention Group

Participants in this group will receive 100 Hz local vibration following the muscle fatigue protocol. The local vibration will be applied along the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle for a duration of 10 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

100 Hz Local Vibration

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this group will receive 100 Hz local vibration along the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle for a duration of 10 minutes.
