What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 14 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
