The Influence of BMI on Core Stability in Healthy Adults

Wafaa Mahmoud Amin90 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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.

Time frame: 30 Seconds

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.

Time frame: 30 Seconds

Unipedal static balance

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

Time frame: 30 Seconds

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.

Time frame: 60 Seconds
