Adductor Strength in Athletes Suffering a Groin Injury

Recruiting

• Conditions: Groin Injury
• Interventions: Other: Adductor strength assessment

• Registration Number: NCT05554562
• Lead Sponsor: University of Oviedo

Brief Summary

assess the difference in adductor peak strength evaluated with different instruments. Hand held dynamometer vs force frame

Detailed Description

This study aims to compare the difference in adductor strength output performed by athletes suffering a groin injury between two different assessment methods. Previous studies have observed that add strength differs depending on the evaluation method. Isometric strength can be measured with hand held dynamometer or with force plates (forceframe). Wether one method is better in order to differenciate adductor strength between healthy and injured limb is not known to date.

Group	Intervention	Description
Injured athletes	Adductor strength assessment	Athletes suffering a groin injury

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
handheld dynamometer strength	november 2022 to june 2023	peak torque measured with the handheld dynamometer the athlete will lay supine with hips flexed at 0º and the examiner will put the forearm between the ankles, the participant has to exert the maximum possible strength with the adductor muscles by squeezing with both legs against the forearm
forceframe strength	november 2022 to june 2023	peak torque measured with the forceframe the athlete will lay supine with hips flexed at 0º and the ankles placed by the force plates, the participant has to exert the maximum possible strength with the adductor muscles by squeezing with both legs against the plates
