Tokyo, Dec. 6 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000059973) titled 'Immediate Effects of Thoracic Extension Exercise on Pectoralis Minor Stiffness and Shoulder Horizontal Abduction Range of Motion: A Randomized Controlled Trial' on Dec. 6.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Single blind -investigator(s) and assessor(s) are blinded Control - No treatment

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Hirabari Kato Orthopedics & Sports Clinic

Condition: Condition - Healthy adults Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a short-duration thoracic extension exercise produces immediate improvements in pectoralis minor stiffness measured by shear wave elastography and in shoulder horizontal abduction range of motion. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants perform a 10-minute thoracic extension exercise in a seated position. The exercise consists of repeated thoracic extension movements performed at a comfortable tempo. The intervention is conducted once. Interventions/Control_2 - No intervention. Participants remain seated at rest for 10 minutes.
