About this study

The purpose of this research is to:

  1. determine the normal or existing dynamic biomechanics of college athletes and
  2. test the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative medicine in the treatment of athletic injuries.

Motion capture using Vicon systems allows researchers to quantify characteristics of a body such as the range of motion of the hip or shoulder during an athletic technique such as kicking or shooting a basketball into the basket. The quantified information has been used before to better understand human mobility and performance. Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) is manual medicine applied to joints, muscles, and connective tissue with a goal of improved body functions. Research demonstrating effectiveness of OMM on the musculoskeletal and associated connective tissue systems health includes, among others, prospective clinical trials of OMM for treatment of neck pain, low back pain, and acute first- and second-degree ankle sprains.

Read the detailed description

Volunteers for the study will be recruited through their Athletic director, coach, or physician by an announcement made verbally or via email. The motion capture will be performed under Matthew Cornelius, MS using the Vicon Bonita Motion Capture system in the Fine Arts Department of NYIT. Following the motion capture, body biomechanics will be analyzed to determine the range of motion of each joint in sagittal, frontal, and horizontal planes as well as the timing and sequence of the movements. The motion analysis will be compared to the Sports Physical exam, including the general, structural/neuromusculoskeletal, and central neurological (ImPACT) exams. The comparison will add validity to the physical exam. In addition, determining if the quantitative, 3-dimensional motion analysis can be correlated with information from the physical exam with regards to restrictions to motion may be useful for athletes to optimize their abilities in the future. If during the course of the athlete's training and competition season s/he sustains an injury, s/he will be evaluated by the NYIT athletics physician, who will randomly assign the injured athletes to either the 'standard of care without OMM' or 'standard of care with OMM' cohorts when medically appropriate. OMM will be performed by an NYITCOM physician specializing in family medicine and OMT or neuromusculoskeletal systems and OMM. "Return to play' time and post-intervention/post-control quantitative motion analysis of biomechanics during the athletes demonstration of the same athletic maneuvers as before the injury.

    Also called osteopathic manual therapy

    Osteopathic manipulative medicine includes all types of manual therapies to gently restore and/or optimize one's natural joint, muscle, and other soft tissue balance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) in people with Athletic Injuries, run by New York Institute of Technology at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

change in joint angles (degrees) (time frame: 1 year). 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 12 Oct 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
