NCT ID NCT07248475
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding battle rope exercises to standard physical therapy can improve elbow movement and reduce pain in children aged 8 to 15 who have stiff elbows after an injury. Half of the 42 participants will do standard therapy alone, while the other half will also do 10-15 minutes of battle rope training. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, and elbow function before and after treatment.
