Effects of vibration on grip strength and reaction time after muscle fatigue
Evaluation of Grip Strength and Reaction Time Following Induced Fatigue of the Wrist Flexors: The Acute Effects of Local Vibration
NA · Bitlis Eren University · NCT06949566
This study tests if using vibration on the wrist muscles after they get tired can help young women improve their grip strength and reaction time.

What this trial studies
This study investigates how local vibration applied to the wrist flexor muscles after inducing fatigue affects grip strength and reaction time in young women. A total of 42 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a control group, a group receiving 50 Hz local vibration, or a group receiving 100 Hz local vibration. The aim is to determine if vibration therapy can enhance neuromuscular performance following muscle fatigue.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy female individuals aged 18-25 without any upper extremity injuries.
Not a fit: Patients with open wounds, a history of upper extremity injuries, or those using anti-inflammatory drugs may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a non-invasive method to improve grip strength and reaction time in individuals experiencing muscle fatigue.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on this specific approach, similar studies exploring the effects of vibration therapy on muscle performance have shown promising results.
