U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07485530) titled 'Validating the Speckle Tracking Methods on Soft Tissue Strain, Displacement, and Roles in Physical Therapy' on March 09.
Brief Summary: This three-year research project aims to test the hypothesis that strain and displacement characteristics of human soft tissues are influenced by (1) habitual physical activity, (2) functional impairment, and (3) training interventions. Over the three years, the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow, the ankle tendon, and the hamstring muscles will be investigated sequentially. Ultrasound speckle-tracking techniques will be employed to verify these hypotheses and to provide a basis for clinical ri...
