About this study

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.

Read the detailed description

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//m^2)) Group II (overweight subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) with (BMI, 25-30 kg//m^2)).

Group III (obese subjects): 30 individuals (15 male, and 15 female students) (BMI>30 kg//m^2)).

Motor control element of CS will be investigated by assessing bilateral static balance with open and close eye, right foot balance test, and dynamic balance test using Prokin System for balance. Data of this study will be statistically analyzed by performing descriptive (Mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (One way ANOVA, Unpaired T test) at level of significance p=<0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Core Stability AssessmentDiagnostic test

    Also called Balance Assessment

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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.

    Measured: 30 Seconds

  2. 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.

    Measured: 30 Seconds

  3. Unipedal static balance

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

    Measured: 30 Seconds

  4. 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.

    Measured: 60 Seconds

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Core Stability Assessment in people with Overweight and Obesity and Balance; Distorted, run by Wafaa Mahmoud Amin at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Static balance test with eyes opened (time frame: 30 Seconds). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2019.
