Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will be conducted to investigate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on core stability (CS) 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//m^2)) Group II (overweight subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg//m^2)).
Group III (obese subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI>30 kg//m^2)).
Motor control element of CS will be investigated by assessing bilateral static balance with open and close eye, right foot balance test, and dynamic balance test using Prokin System for balance. Data of this study will be statistically analyzed by performing descriptive (Mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (One way ANOVA, Unpaired T test) at level of significance p=<0.05.

Arms & Interventions
Group I (normal subjects)
30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI<25 kg//m^2)). Core Stability Assessment will be performed for them using Prokin system.
Intervention: Core Stability Assessment (Diagnostic Test)
Group II (overweight subjects)
30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg//m^2)). Core Stability Assessment will be performed for them using Prokin system.
Intervention: Core Stability Assessment (Diagnostic Test)
Group III (obese subjects)
30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI>30 kg//m^2)). Core Stability Assessment will be performed for them using Prokin system.
Intervention: Core Stability Assessment (Diagnostic Test)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Static balance test with eyes opened
Time Frame: 30 Seconds
After explaining the tests to the subjects, data will be entered and the device will be calibrated. Both feet of the subjects will be placed on the balance platform nakedly with eyes are opened.
Static balance test with eyes closed
Time Frame: 30 Seconds
After explaining the tests to the subjects, data will be entered and the device will be calibrated. Both feet of the subjects will be placed on the balance platform nakedly with eyes closed.
Unipedal static balance
Time Frame: 30 Seconds
It will be measured respectively on right foot with eyes are opened.
Dynamic (Equilibrium/ Disequilibrium test)
Time Frame: 60 Seconds
the subject will stand on right foot(dominant), and see some galleries that come against. The subject's scope is to enter into those galleries and to maintain the tilting board as firm as possible.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
