This study tests whether manual therapy (a type of hands-on treatment) can help improve shooting performance and reduce discomfort in archers. If you are an active archer in good health, you may be able to join and receive this therapy as part of the study.
This study tests a special brain-based training program for young archers aged 15–18. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve your shooting accuracy and how your muscles work.
This study tests two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy, which uses sound waves to help healing, and blood flow restriction therapy, which uses a cuff to increase blood flow during exercise. It aims to see if combining them works better than either alone, which might help reduce pain and improve your arm's function.
This study tests a new tool (a special ruler called a goniometer) for measuring how far your elbow can bend. It is looking for healthy adults to make sure the tool gives accurate and consistent readings.
This study compares two treatment plans for golfer’s elbow—manual therapy plus exercise, and whether adding ultrasound helps more. It aims to reduce elbow and inner-forearm pain and improve how well you can use your arm.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality exercises can help young athletes recover from little league elbow, a common overuse injury causing pain at the inner elbow. It may improve pain and function compared to standard treatment alone.
