The Effect of BMI on Hand Grip Force in Healthy Adults

Completed

• Conditions: Motor Activity; Overweight and Obesity; Hand Injuries
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Hand Grip Force

• Registration Number: NCT03753295
• Lead Sponsor: Wafaa Mahmoud Amin

Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on hand grip force in healthy subjects. The participants in this study will be 90 healthy subjects with right dominant lower limb (49 females and 49 males) they will be recruited from College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University.

Detailed Description

Subjects will be categorized according to BMI into three groups:

Group I (normal subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI\<25 kg/m2) Group II (overweight subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg/m2).

Group III (obese subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI\>30 kg/m2).

Baseline hydraulic hand dynamometer: (Fabrication Enterprises Incorporated, White Plains,New York, USA) will be used to measure the hand grip strength and pinch strength

Hand Grip Force of the Right Dominant Hand in The Three Groups	10 minutes	Hand Grip strength will be measured in three groups and comparison between them will be made

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
the effect of gender on the hand grip	10 minutes	measurement of hand grip force of the right dominant hand will be taken for both male and females in the three subjects
