Relative Hand Grip Strength and Functional Fitness in Diabetic Patient in Egypt

NCT06645418 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Hand Grip
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 200
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

To show if there is significant relationship between hand grip strength and physical fitness in diabetic type II patients over 60 years old.

Conditions

Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• relative Hand grip strength

  the sum of the handgrip strength of both hands divided by body mass index (BMI)

  Baseline

• The 30-Second Chair Test

  The 30-Second Chair Test is a standing exercise where participants sit in a folding chair without arms, with their feet shoulder-width apart and arms crossed. The test requires the participant to perform full stands within 30 seconds, with the goal of completing the task without using their arms.

  Baseline

• 8-feet Up-and-Go test

  Place a chair and marker 8 feet apart, clear the path, and start seated. Start timing, then quickly stand, walk, and walk around a cone, returning to the chair. Stop timing as needed. Perform two trials.

  Baseline

• 2 min walk test

  For two minutes, the person is urged to walk as quickly as they can while remaining safe and independent, and the distance is recorded.

  Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Diabetic group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

100 randomly selected older adults with DM II, of both sexes who are attending endocrine outpatient clinics in governmental hospitals.

Diagnostic Test: relative Hand grip strength; Diagnostic Test: senior fitness test

non diabetic group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

100 older adults non diabetic, of both sexes who are attending endocrine outpatient clinics in governmental hospitals.

Diagnostic Test: relative Hand grip strength; Diagnostic Test: senior fitness test

Interventions

relative Hand grip strength DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

To perform this study the relative handgrip strength (rHGS) index was used. The rHGSi is defined as the sum of the handgrip strength of both hands divided by body mass index (BMI), and it is considered a better prognostic tool than handgrip strength. rHGS was measured by Jamar hand dynamometer. The Functional Performance was determined by using 3 tests of the Senior Fitness Test (The 30-second chair stand test, the 8-feet Up-and-Go test, and the 2 minutes' Walk Test).

Diabetic group; non diabetic group

senior fitness test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Functional Performance was determined by using 3 tests of the Senior Fitness Test (The 30-second chair stand test, the 8-feet Up-and-Go test, and the 2 minutes' Walk Test).

Diabetic group; non diabetic group
