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.

Conditions

Motor Activity; Overweight and Obesity; Hand Injuries

Keywords

BMI, Hand Grip, Healthy Adults

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Hand Grip Force of the Right Dominant Hand in The Three Groups

  Hand Grip strength will be measured in three groups and comparison between them will be made

  10 minutes

• Comparison of Hand Grip Force between Both Arms in three Groups

  Measurement of both right dominant hand and left hand will be measured in the three groups and compared with each other.

  20 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• the effect of gender on the hand grip

  10 minutes

Study Arms (3)

Group I (normal subjects)

30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI\<25 kg/m2). Hand grip force will measured using Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer.

Diagnostic Test: Hand Grip Force

Group II (overweight subjects)

30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg/m2). Hand grip force will measured using Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer.

Diagnostic Test: Hand Grip Force

Group III (obese subjects)

30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI\>30 kg/m2). Hand grip force will measured using Baseline Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer.

Diagnostic Test: Hand Grip Force

Interventions

Hand Grip Force DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

For measuring the grip strength, the subjects will be asked to sit on a chair with their hip joint flexed at 90 degree, and shoulder joint in a neutral position. The elbow is fixed at 90 degree flexion, forearm in a neutral position, and wrist at 0 to 15 degree radial deviation. The test will be performed twice, and the higher value between the two measurements will be selected. The subjects will be allowed a rest time of more than 5 minutes after the first measurement to avoid examiner bias and to decrease physical stress

Group I (normal subjects); Group II (overweight subjects); Group III (obese subjects)
