Treatment and study plan

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).

Primary outcomes

  1. relative Hand grip strength

    Time frame: Baseline

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

  2. The 30-Second Chair Test

    Time frame: Baseline

    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.

  3. 8-feet Up-and-Go test

    Time frame: Baseline

    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.

  4. 2 min walk test

    Time frame: Baseline

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