Tokyo, June 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061412) titled 'Effects and Mechanisms of Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion' on June 1.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Sapporo Medical University Graduate School

Condition: Condition - None Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - This study aims to investigate the effects of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) applied to the triceps surae and Kager's fat pad (KFP) on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, as well as to elucidate its effects on mechanical and neural/perceptual factors, using changes in passive torque and tissue stiffness as outcome measures. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) will be applied to the triceps surae and Kager's fat pad (KFP). The treatment parameters will be set at the maximum intensity tolerated by each participant, with a frequency of 12 Hz and 2000 pulses. First, rESWT will be delivered to the triceps surae using a 40-mm applicator, followed by treatment with a 15-mm applicator under the same conditions. Subsequently, rESWT will also be applied to the KFP using a 15-mm applicator under the same conditions. Interventions/Control_2 - Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (eESWT) will be applied only to Kager's fat pad (KFP). The treatment parameters will be set at the maximum intensity tolerated by each participant, with a frequency of 12 Hz and a total of 2000 pulses. A 15-mm applicator will be used for the treatment.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old

Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Healthy adults with no history of ankle injury within the past 6 months Key exclusion criteria - Individuals with a history of neurological disorders or a history of surgery involving the trunk or lower extremities Target Size - 20

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 06 Month 01 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 06 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2029 Year 03 Month 31 Day
