RECRUITING NA

The Influence of Movement Velocity Biofeedback on Muscle Activation and Self Perception in Older Adults With Sarcopenia

NCT06853275 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The overall objective for this clinical trial is to provide evidence for internal and external cueing for physical therapists and other rehabilitation clinicians to optimize resistance training within rehabilitation for older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the impact of external focus (providing velocity of movement for each repetition) compared to internal focus (i.e., no cues, control group) on physical percent velocity loss and neuromuscular activation in older adults with sarcopenia? * Does internal and external focus influence motivation and perceptual workload following resistance training in older adults with sarcopenia? Researchers will compare external focus to internal focus to see if external focus impacts percent velocity loss, motivation, and perceived workload. Participants will: * Visit the lab once per week for 3 weeks * Perform exercise testing using a leg press * Answer questionnaires regarding perceived workload and motivation before and after exercise

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06853275

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06853275 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Creighton University, which has 73 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Sarcopenia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Experimental: External Focus is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06853275 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nebraska. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
