An interventional study of neural mobilization in Healthy, sponsored by Aveiro University. Completed at 1 site in Portugal. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-10-04.
Sponsored by Aveiro University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study aims to compare the effects of two diferente doses of nervous system mobilization on athletes performance.
It is anticipated that 60 athletes will be randomly allocated to receive either 4x10 (n=30) or 8x10 (n=30) repetitions of neural mobilization .
Data on flexibility (knee extension test) and lower limb strength and motor control (hop tests and vertical jump test) will be collected at baseline and after the neural mobilization.
Statistical analysis will be performed using a mixed-methods ANOVA.
Aveiro University is the lead sponsor of 57 studies on the registry; 13 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Four series of 10 repetitions of neural mobilization targeting the tibial nerve.
Other: neural mobilization
Eight series of 10 repetitions of neural mobilization targeting the tibial nerve.
Other: neural mobilization
This is a type of mobilization that uses a specific combination of joint movements
Single Leg Hop Test
Participants are asked to perform one single unipedal jump and the jump width is measured.
Time frame: Baseline
Single Leg Hop Test
Participants are asked to perform one single unipedal jump and the jump width is measured.
Time frame: Up to 1 hour after baseline
Crossover Test
Participants are asked to jump as far as possible on a single leg three consecutive times, without losing balance and landing firmly. The total width of the 3 consecutive jumps is measured.

Time frame: Up to 1 hour after baseline
6-meter Time Hop Test
The aim is to jump as fast as possible on a single leg over a distance of 6 meters, without losing balance and landing firmly. The time taken to perform this test is the measure of interest.

Vertical Jump test
Participants are asked to jump upwards and the height jumped is measured.
Time frame: Up to 1 hour after baseline
Knee extension test
Participants are in a prone position, hip at 90º flexion and knee extension is performed. The measure of interest is the knee extension angle.
