Clinical Trial: Thumb Muscle Activation During First Dorsal Interosseous Activities of Daily Living in Thumb Base Osteoarthritis

U.S., June 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07668986) titled 'Thumb Muscle Activation During First Dorsal Interosseous Activities of Daily Living in Thumb Base Osteoarthritis' on May 29.

Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in muscle activation of the First Dorsal Interosseous (FDI) and the Abductor Pollicis Longus (APL) between individuals with and without trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMC OA) of the thumb during the performance of six activities of daily living (ADLs).
