About this study

Official title: The Effects Of Femur On The Resting Myoelectrical Activity Of Contralateral Adductor Muscle During Unilateral Lower Extremity Vibration: Bone Myoregulation Reflex

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of femur exposed to unilateral vibration on the rest muscle electrical activity of contralateral hip adductors and contralateral soleus H-reflex in young adult men.

This study hypothesize that femur exposed to unilateral vibration may affect the rest muscle electrical activity of contralateral hip adductors. Vibration can effectively enhance muscle strength and power. Previous studies have shown that vibration increases muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity. It has been showed that bone has an effect on the increase in muscle EMG activity caused by vibration in healthy young adults in a study. In this study, it was reported that vibrations-induced increases in muscle electrical activity of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) was related to ultradistal radius bone mineral content (BMC) and the FCR H-reflex was suppressed or depressed during vibration. This findings were reported to support the assumption that the bone exposed to cyclic mechanical loading may neuronally regulate muscle activity.

Read the detailed description

A total of 20 voluntaries are planned to include in this study.

Vibration will be applied the right lower extremity by whole-body vibration (PowerPlate Pro). Cases will stand on vibration plate. WBV will be applied at a frequency of 40 Hz and amplitude of 2 mm for 60 seconds. WBV will be applied one session only.

The rest muscle electrical activity of ipsilateral and contralateral hip adductor muscles at rest will be measured by PowerLab (data acquisition system, ADInstruments, Australia) device.The rest-EMGrms will be measured at before and during vibration. We also evaluate a change in contralateral soleus H reflex during vibration.

Effects of bone on the rest muscle electrical activity will be assessed by hip bone mineral density, bone mineral content and serum sclerostin level. The right hip bone mineral density (BMD) and BMC will be evaluated by bone densitometer (Norland). Plasma sclerostin level will be measured by using Human Sclerostin ELISA kıt before and after vibration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole-body vibration in people with Bone Mass and Effects of Vibration, run by Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vibration-induced contralateral muscle electrical activity (time frame: 3 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 May 2013.
