About this study

Official title: The Effect of Asymmetric Postural Loading on the Movement of the Right Hemidiaphragm

The aim of this study is to investigate the movement of the right hemidiaphragm when lifting a load with the left and right hand.

Read the detailed description

Hemidiaphragm movement will be assessed by m-mode ultrasonography in a standing position. The study will include 30-40 healthy adult volunteers. The examination will consist of two tidal inspirations and expirations, two inspirations and expirations during lifting the kettlebell with the left hand and two inspirations and expirations during lifting the kettlebell with the right hand. The weight of the kettlebell will correspond to about 10% of the participant's body weight.

Conditions
Healthy

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemidiaphragm movement

    Distance of the diaphragm from the ultrasound transducer in millimeters during tidal breathing, and when lifting a load with the left and right hand.

    Measured: 7 months

The record lists 1 site in Czechia. 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?

Hemidiaphragm movement (time frame: 7 months). 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 22 Jun 2023.
