Study Summary

"This trial aims to understand why females tend to get more hand and wrist injuries compared to males in sports. The study will look at the impact of hormones, such as those from birth control, on muscle

Who is the study for?

This trial is for females who are either using monophasic oral contraceptives or not, and males. It aims to understand the impact of hormones on hand/wrist injury risk by studying muscle strength and control during a week of immobilization.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how one week of wrist/hand immobilization affects muscle strength and neuromuscular activation in three groups: women on birth control pills, women not on them, and men.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves immobilization without medication or invasive procedures, side effects may include temporary discomfort, stiffness or weakness in the immobilized hand/wrist.
