Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Manual Therapy; Manipulation; Muscles; Musculoskeletal System

• Registration Number: NCT06901089
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Gdansk

Brief Summary

Currently, it is difficult to find studies in the literature assessing the impact of manual therapy on preventing lower limb injuries in basketball players, which may later translate into improved strength and balance in athletes, when planning training or therapy programming, e.g. in patients after ankle sprains.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessment of MVC.	The study will be conducted 4 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention and after training).Each isometric muscle test lasts 3 seconds.	Muscle EMG is an assessment of electrical characteristics during the test, which is measured by the repetition frequency of muscle motor unit discharges, which is measured in Hz, at the same time of the test.Time

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessment of proprioception.	The test will be performed three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each joint measurement will be performed at three settings: 15, 30, 45 degrees.	Assessing proprioception is an assessment of the angular position of a joint and then an attempt to reproduce it, measured in degrees.
Y balance test	The test will be conducted three times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after training).	Consists of the volunteer standing on one leg while simultaneously stretching the other lower limb in 3 different directions. These are: anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral.
Standing Long Jump Test	The test will be conducted 3 times during one training session (before the intervention, after the intervention, after the training). Each test is repeated 3 times.	Attempt to jump as far as possible while landing on both feet without falling backwards. The distance will be measured and given in centimeters.
