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.

Conditions

Overweight and Obesity; Balance; Distorted

Keywords

BMI, Core Stability, Healthy Adult

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Static balance test with eyes opened

  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.

  30 Seconds

• Static balance test with eyes closed

  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.

  30 Seconds

• Unipedal static balance

  It will be measured respectively on right foot with eyes are opened.

  30 Seconds

• Dynamic (Equilibrium/ Disequilibrium test)

  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.

  60 Seconds

Study Arms (3)

Group I (normal subjects)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Diagnostic Test: Core Stability Assessment

Group II (overweight subjects)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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.

Diagnostic Test: Core Stability Assessment

Group III (obese subjects)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI\>30 kg//m\^2)). Core Stability Assessment will be performed for them using Prokin system.

Diagnostic Test: Core Stability Assessment

Interventions

Core Stability Assessment DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Core Stability Assessment will be consisted of bilateral static balance with open and close eye, right foot balance test, and dynamic balance test.

Also known as: Balance Assessment

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

Model Details: 3x3 factorial design, according to body mass index (Independent variable)subjects will be divided into three groups (Group I - normal subjects-BMI\<25 kg/m2, Group II -overweight subjects-BMI, 25-30 kg/m2), Group III -obese subjects- BMI\>30 kg/m2). Core stability (dependent variable) will be measured by three tests : bilateral static balance with open and close eye, uni-pedal static balance test, and dynamic balance test using Prokin System for balance
