Tokyo, Sept. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062547) titled 'Effects of Wall-Supported Single-Leg Calf Raises on Lower-Leg Muscle Activity' on Sept. 1.
Study Type:
Interventional
Study Design:
Basic Design - Single arm
Randomization - Non-randomized
Blinding - Open -no one is blinded
Control - Self control
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Juntendo University
Condition:
Condition - Healthy adult males aged 18-30 years
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to compare lower-leg muscle activity (medial gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor hallucis longus, and tibialis anterior) between wall-supported and conventional single-leg calf raises using surface electromyography, and to clarify the effects of wall support on muscle activation.
Basic objectives2 - Efficacy
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will perform 5 repetitions of single-leg heel-raise tasks under the following two conditions in a randomized order determined by a random number table
Wall-supported heel-raise condition: Participants perform maximum single-leg heel raises on their dominant leg while maintaining contact of their heel, buttocks, and back against a wall.
Conventional heel-raise condition: Participants face a wall and perform maximum single-leg heel raises on their dominant leg while lightly touching the wall with their fingertips solely for balance maintenance.
