About this study
Official title: The Immediate Effect of Passive Joint Mobilizations on Hand Reaction Time: A Randomized Single-Blind Study
This clinical trial aims to look at the influence of wrist Mulligan mobilizations on hand reaction time in healthy people. The main question it aims to answer is:
1-Do hand mobilizations reduce reaction time?
Read the detailed description
In the treatment of musculoskeletal problems, manual therapy techniques are often used to restore movement and alleviate pain. The period between the initial muscular response or movement in response to a stimulus is referred to as reaction time. There is growing evidence for the benefit of manual mobilization for limb dysfunction, including shoulder and elbow pain, but there is little literature on hand mobilization and little research on its influence on hand reaction time in healthy individuals.
The study comprised 60 healthy participants who completed a voluntary consent form. They were divided into two groups: research and sham mobilization. Participants in the study group had mediolateral wrist glide, anteroposterior 1st MCP glide, and anteroposterior and mediolateral glide. Applications were performed to the wrist, first metacarpal, and CMC joints in three sets of six repetitions. The patient in the sham mobilization group remained in the same posture for the same amount of time without gliding. The Nelson Hand Reaction Test was used to assess hand reaction before and after application. A 50 cm ruler was used, and the average of five measurements in cm was recorded and interpreted to sec.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Passive Joint MobilizationOther
Wrist mediolateral glide, 1st MCP joint anteroposterior glide, CMC joint mediolateral, and anteroposterior glide were applied to the individuals. Applications were made 6 times with 3 repetitions
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| İntervention | Experimental | In the study group, wrist mediolateral glide, 1st MCP joint anteroposterior glide, CMC joint mediolateral, and anteroposterior glide were applied to the individuals by an experienced physiotherapist. Applications were made 6 times with 3 repetitions Receives: Other: Passive Joint Mobilization |
| Sham Mobilization | Sham comparator | In the sham mobilization group, individuals were placed in the same position, but no mobilization application was performed. Receives: Other: Passive Joint Mobilization |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hand Reaction Time
The time lapse between the application of stimulus and the generation of appropriate voluntary responses in an individual is known as reaction time (RT). It has been used widely in the assessment of executive functions, neuropsychological functions, and motor cognitive processing speed (MCPS).
Measured: Immediate after mobilization

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?
Hand Reaction Time (time frame: Immediate after mobilization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06168747, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Mar 2024.
