Weight Variations Impacts on the Ankle of the Child

Completed

• Conditions: Risk of Falling; Ankle Injuries; Stability

• Registration Number: NCT05074511
• Lead Sponsor: Delta University for Science and Technology

Brief Summary

Obesity is a global health problem. It changes the measurement of the human body and makes a big change to move the body. The increased weight and mass change the way the limbs and whole body generate and react to force Excess fat also interferes with joint-muscle interactions that are important for functional capacity and postural balance The tendency to increase the thickness of the abdomen contributes to anterior movement of the COM of the body. The purpose of the study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of weight on foot stability in children.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
risk of falling in static and dynamic situations for each group	assessed immediately after the procedure	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess risk of falling
dynamic level of stability for each group	assessed immediately after the procedure	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess level of instability
dynamic Postural stability for each group	aassessed immediately after the procedure	The Biodex Balance System will be used to assess Postural stability
ankle muscles peak and angle specific torque, power and work for each group	assessed immediately after the procedure	Isokinetic dynamometer will be used to assess ankle muscles (plantarflexors, dorsiflexors, inverstors and evertors muscles). it will be assess the peak and angle specific torque, power and work for those muscles.
