An observational study in Motor Activity, Overweight and Obesity and Hand Injuries, sponsored by Wafaa Mahmoud Amin. Completed at 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 25 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-03-12.
Sponsored by Wafaa Mahmoud Amin · Observational
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.
Subjects will be categorized according to BMI into three groups:
Group I (normal subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI\<25 kg/m2) Group II (overweight subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg/m2).
Group III (obese subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI>30 kg/m2).
Baseline hydraulic hand dynamometer: (Fabrication Enterprises Incorporated, White Plains,New York, USA) will be used to measure the hand grip strength and pinch strength
3,670 studies on the registry are indexed under Overweight; 849 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 90 is below the median of 150 across 436 observational studies indexed under Overweight.

90 healthy male and female students with age 19 to 25 years old, and right dominant hand, will be recruited from the College of Applied Medical Sciences, Jazan University.
Exclusion Criteria:
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
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
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
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
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
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 20 minutes
the effect of gender on the hand grip
measurement of hand grip force of the right dominant hand will be taken for both male and females in the three subjects
Time frame: 10 minutes
