The Effect of Handgrip Strength on Functional Level

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of kinesio tape applied to the forearm extensor muscles on the functional level of patients undergoing lower extremity surgery with walker ambulation. Patients who were evaluated before being included in the post-surgical rehabilitation program (before kinesio tape application) and before discharge will be included in the study group. For the control group data, patients who underwent lower extremity surgery at the same institution for similar periods, but were included in the standard rehabilitation program, but did not apply kinesio tape, will be included. Standard rehabilitation practice includes in-bed transfer training, gait training, practice of daily living activities, and therapeutic exercise practices . Before the standard rehabilitation program, kinesio taping was applied to both upper extremities in the form of a "Y" tape from the medial epicondyle to the wrist flexors, with 15-20% tension, to the patients hospitalized in the orthopedic service after lower extremity surgery. The tape should remain on the patient's arm throughout the hospital stay

Clinical Trial Description

In the literature, as predictors of poor functional recovery after lower extremity fracture and prosthetic surgery; old age, low functional level before fracture, cognitive impairment, comorbidities, living alone, and long hospital stay have been shown. Although the lower extremity has a higher relationship than the upper extremity in activities such as walking and physical function, the grip strength, which is closely related to the lower extremity strength, is an easily measurable, reliable, and applicable method for assessing whole body strength.In addition, handgrip strength is used as an important criterion in determining the functional level of elderly individuals. Although there are many studies in the literature that grip strength is a determinant of functional level, no study has been encountered showing the effects of kinesio taping application on the functional level of improving grip strength in elderly individuals who have undergone lower extremity surgery and provided with walker assisted ambulation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
