About this study
Influence of mental practice and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on muscle strength of upper limb and hand grip will be measured in 30 to 50 healthy students with right dominant hand, Their age will be ranged from 18 to 26 years old. Subjects will randomly assigned to either proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) group or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with mental practice (PNFMP) group.
Read the detailed description
PNF group: 15 - 25 individuals, these subjects will receive only PNF training. PNFMP: 15 individuals, these subjects will receive PNF training with MP. Training program will be conducted for every group for 5 weeks with 3 sessions x 30 min per week. Electromyography (EMG) device will be used to measure the electrical activity of muscles using surface electrodes. Hydraulic hand dynamometer will be used to measure hand grip strength.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing PNF and PNFMP in people with Motor Activity and Physical Activity, run by University of Jazan at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Shoulder joint strength (time frame: 6 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 May 2019.
