Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to look at the influence of wrist Mulligan mobilizations on hand reaction time in healthy people. The main question it aims to answer is: 1-Do hand mobilizations reduce reaction time?

Conditions

Passive Joint Mobilization; Reaction Time; Immediate Effect

Keywords

passive joint mobilization; reaction time; immediate effect

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hand Reaction Time

  The time lapse between the application of stimulus and the generation of appropriate voluntary responses in an individual is known as reaction time (RT). It has been used widely in the assessment of executive functions, neuropsychological functions, and motor cognitive processing speed (MCPS).

  Immediate after mobilization

Study Arms (2)

İntervention

EXPERIMENTAL

In the study group, wrist mediolateral glide, 1st MCP joint anteroposterior glide, CMC joint mediolateral, and anteroposterior glide were applied to the individuals by an experienced physiotherapist. Applications were made 6 times with 3 repetitions

Other: Passive Joint Mobilization

Sham Mobilization

SHAM COMPARATOR

In the sham mobilization group, individuals were placed in the same position, but no mobilization application was performed.

Other: Passive Joint Mobilization

Interventions

Passive Joint Mobilization OTHER

Wrist mediolateral glide, 1st MCP joint anteroposterior glide, CMC joint mediolateral, and anteroposterior glide were applied to the individuals. Applications were made 6 times with 3 repetitions

Sham Mobilization; İntervention

Model Details: They were divided into two groups: research and sham mobilization. Participants in the study group had mediolateral wrist glide, anteroposterior 1st MCP glide, and anteroposterior and mediolateral glide. Applications were performed to the wrist, first metacarpal, and CMC joints in three sets of six repetitions. The patient in the sham mobilization group remained in the same posture for the same amount of time without gliding. The Nelson Hand Reaction Test was used to assess hand reaction before and after application. A 50 cm ruler was used, and the average of five measurements in cm was recorded and interpreted to sec.
