U.S., April 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07507695) titled 'Acute Effects of Patellar Tendon Ultrasound on Countermovement Jump Performance' on March 27.
Brief Summary: This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial aims to investigate the acute effects of therapeutic ultrasound applied to the patellar tendon on vertical jump performance in healthy university students. Therapeutic ultrasound is widely used in physiotherapy to influence soft tissue properties through thermal and mechanical effects; however, its immediate impact on explosive lower-extremity performance and neuromuscular function remains unclear.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a therapeutic ultrasound group ...
