U.S., Sept. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07166198) titled 'Mitigating Neural Hypoexcitability and Weakness During Disuse in Women' on Sept. 03.
Brief Summary: Clinical trial The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how muscle weakness and atrophy develop during short periods of arm immobilization and whether a type of exercise called cross-education can help reduce these effects in women at midlife.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
What changes happen in the nervous system that lead to weakness when a wrist is immobilized?
Can training the opposite arm help maintain muscle strength, muscle size, and nervous system function in the immobilized arm?
Researchers will compare wo...
