New treatment option for Acromioclavicular Joint Injury
Official title Contralateral Resistance Training During Immobilization in Patients With Acromioclavicular Joint Injury
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07628361
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of contralateral eccentric and concentric resistance training performed during the immobilization period following acromioclavicular joint injury. Immobilization is commonly prescribed after injury but may lead to reductions in muscle mass, neuromuscular function, force production, and upper-limb functionality.
