Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)Laser irradiation to leg using low level laser equipment (sheep) or placebo device.

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeThe differences of the replication errors for joint position sense between low level laser group and placebo device group.
Secondary OutcomeThe differences of the replication errors for joint position sense between dominance leg and non-dominance legs in low level laser group. Muscle activity in the leg surface electromyography. Rating of perceived exertion (Borg scale). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for fatigure.
