Overview
Brief Summary
Our study aimed to examine the relationship between upper extremity anthropometric measurements and reaction time in healthy individuals. Also, we aimed to investigate whether there are differences between dominant and non-dominant upper extremity anthropometric measurements and reaction time.
Detailed Description
Reaction time is the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the generation of a response. It consists of various processes including sensory processing, information processing, decision-making, and motor response. Reaction time is also affected by various factors such as task complexity, attention level, and the individual's condition. Muscle strength has been shown to affect reaction time in different age groups. Studies in the literature have determined that reaction time is a factor affecting performance in athletes, individuals with orthopedic diseases, and the elderly. Therefore, identifying the factors affecting reaction time is important. We aimed to investigate the relationship between upper extremity anthropometric measurements and reaction time in healthy individuals.
