What participants receive

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

  • relative Hand grip strengthDiagnostic 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).

  • senior fitness testDiagnostic 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).

What is being measured

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

  1. relative Hand grip strength

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

    Measured: Baseline

  2. 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.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. 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.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. 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.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing relative Hand grip strength and senior fitness test in people with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, run by Beni-Suef University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 1 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 16 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

relative Hand grip strength (time frame: Baseline). 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 16 Oct 2024.
