About this study
Official title: Vastus Medialis Muscle Activation During Single Leg Squat Performed With Arm Position Variations in Healthy Participants
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of different arm positions on muscle activity during single leg squat.
Read the detailed description
The aim of our study is to examine the effect of different positions of the arms on lower extremity muscle activations during Single Leg Squat (SLS). This prospective cross sectional study included single leg squat test assessments in different arm positions: 1) Arms free, 2) Arms flexed 90 degrees, 3) Hands on hip, 4) Arms across the chest. Inclusion criteria were being a young adult (20-30 years old), physical activity level of at least 4 on the Tegner Activity Scale, and volunteering to participate in the study. Those with a history of lower extremity injury in the last 1 year will be excluded from the study. Our study will contribute to distinguishing SLS variations for clinicians and researchers and choosing the appropriate SLS for evaluation and treatment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Single Leg SquatOther
After initial data collection (Demographic data, Inclusion criteria), surface electromyography EMG assessments will be obtained from 1 muscle ( Vastus Medialis). EMG evaluation will be done in different arm positions during the single leg squat. These records will be taken in 4 different situations: 1) Arms free, 2) Arms flexed to 90 degrees, 3) Hands on hips, 4) Arms across the chest.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Surface Electromyography
Surface EMG evaluations of Vastus Medialis in 4 conditions in a row (1) Arms free, 2) Arms flexed 90 degrees, 3) Hands on hip, 4) Arms on crossed shoulders.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Knee Injuries and Disorders, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
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 2 inclusion and 2 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 2 Sep 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?
Surface Electromyography (time frame: Procedure (During the intervention)). 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 2 Sep 2022.
