The Effects of Mental Practice Combined With Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Muscle Strength of Upper Limb and Hand Grip

NCT03767413 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 8810025277
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 30
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Motor Activity; Physical Activity; Neuromuscu

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Shoulder joint strength

  electromyography device will be used to measure the electrical activity of the muscle

  6 minutes

• Elbow joint strength

  electromyography device will be used to measure the electrical activity of the muscle

  6 minutes

• Strength of hand grip

  Hand held dynamometer will be used to measure the strength of the hand grip

  15 minutes
