Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of nerve gliding exercises versus conventional grip strength exercises on handgrip strength, range of motion, and overall performance in cricket batters aged 18 to 35. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, with one group performing nerve gliding exercises and the other group engaging in grip strength exercises. The study will utilize tools such as the Adjustable Hand Dynamometer and Goniometer to measure outcomes. The trial will take place in Lahore, recruiting participants from various cricket academies.
