First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a specific type of exercise, called PNF-based upper extremity strengthening combined with core stabilization, can improve physical fitness in amputee football players. Fourteen players with a lower limb amputation will be split into two groups: one doing the special exercises and one doing standard strength training. The program lasts 8 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, balance, and sprint performance.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) based upper extremity strengthening exercises combined with core stabilization training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more effective training program to improve strength, balance, and sprint performance for amputee football players.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to all amputee athletes. The exercises are specific and may not be easy to replicate outside a supervised setting.
As listed by the trial registrant
