Effects of Remote Limb Ischemic Conditioning to Enhance Performance, Cognitive-motor Learning and Muscle Strength in Healthy Young Adults
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating RLIC, Sham conditioning, and 3 other interventions for Healthy, Young Adults. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) can enhance learning of a motor (balance) and an ecologically valid, complex cognitive-motor (driving) task, and increase skeletal muscle strength in neurologically-intact young adults.

Timeline
Interventions
See descriptions under arm/group descriptions. RLIC is delivered for 8 visits. Visits 1-3 occur on consecutive work days and visits 4-8 occur on alternating week days.
See descriptions under arm/group descriptions. Sham conditioning is delivered for 8 visits. Visits 1-3 occur on consecutive work days and visits 4-8 occur on alternating week days.
All participants undergo muscle strength training of the wrist extensor muscles on one side. Strength training follows standard American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for frequency, intensity, progression etc. Strength training is provided at visits 3-8
All participants undergo training of a complex cognitive-motor task using a driving simulator. Participants learn to 'drive' on a virtual course, maximizing speed and minimizing errors. Participants perform the driving task once each day for visits 3-8.
All participants undergo training on a balance board, learning to hold the board level with equal weight on each leg. Participants perform the balance task for 15, 30-second trials per day at visits 3-8.
