About this study

Official title: The Effect of Open Kinetic Chain Proprioception Exercises on Joint Position Sense, Stability, Endurance and Strength in Adolescent Basketball Players

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of open kinetic chain proprioception exercises on joint position sense, strength, functional stability and endurance in adolescent basketball players

Read the detailed description

Adolescent basketball players, aged 13-16, were randomly divided into two groups as exercise group (n = 11) and control group (n = 11). Exercise group performed open kinetic chain functional proprioception exercises twice a week for 6 weeks. Control group did not participate in any exercise program. Before and after the exercise program all athletes were subjected to the proprioception test and isokinetic muscle strength test on the isokinetic dynamometer, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test and modified push-up test.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise GroupExperimentalAthletes were asked to throw the ball at predetermined targets in different positions with their eyes closed. In the first exercise, the athlete was positioned 2 m from the target in a sitting position, facing the marked lines on the wall. It was asked to make 3 trial shots with a basketball ball while the eyes were open, from the bottom up to the 3 lines on the wall. Then the shots were made while the eyes were closed. In the next exercise, it was requested to make 3 trial shots from the bottom up by looking at the same 3 lines marked in the supine position at the distance of 1 m from the target. Then the shots were made with the eyes facing the ceiling. The last exercise was in a standing position, from the line marked 5 m from the target to the basket, it was requested to make 3 trial free throw with eyes open to the basket. Then, after each throw, the athlete was asked to turn around his own axis and continue to next throw, with eyes closed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proprioception test- Cybex-Humac NORM

    Position-based proprioception test with Cybex-Humac NORM in 60 ̊ and 120 ̊ angles

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Peak Torque & Peak Torque/Body Weight- Cybex-Humac NORM

    Strength and endurance tests with Cybex-Humac NORM at 60°/sec and 180°/sec angular velocities

    Measured: 20 minutes

  3. Closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test

    Recording the number of touches in 15 seconds

    Measured: 5 minutes

  4. Modified push-up test

    Recording the number of push-ups

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open Kinetic Chain Proprioception Exercises in people with Open Kinetic Chain Proprioception Exercises, run by Istanbul University 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 16 May 2022. 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?

Proprioception test- Cybex-Humac NORM (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 May 2022.
