Effect of Hand Exercises on Hand Grip Strength & Manual Ability in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Development of the visual system immediately starts after birth via visual stimuli and interactions with the environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has categorized visual impairments with respect to the best-corrected visual acuity as follows: blindness (Snellen visual acuity of 3/30), severe visual impairment (Snellen visual acuity between 6/60 and 3/30), moderate visual impairment (Snellen visual acuity between 6/18 and 6/60), and mild or no visual impairment (Snellen visual acuity of 6/18). The proper function of hands, particularly in delicate activities, depends on the interaction between the various regions of the brain, particularly, the sensory and motor cortex. Sensory stimulation can be used in such children to improve their manual dexterity and therapeutic interventions can be applied to gain hand strength. Developing skillful hands is a necessity in blind children as it often compensates for their missing vision. This study will focus on effectiveness of hand grip strength and manual ability with sensory stimulation in children with moderate to severe visual impairment. Theraputty hand exercises and sensory stimulation techniques will be used.

Clinical Trial Description

Randomised control trial will be conducted with sample size 20. 20 participants will be included in the study. There will be 10 individuals who will receive hand exercises along with sensory stimulation to improve hand grip strength and manual ability and 10 Individuals who will only receive hand exercises to improve hand grip strength and manual ability. Grip strength and will be analyzed using hand dynamometer. For manual dexterity, box and block test will be used. Grip strength and manual dexterity will be analyzed before and after the intervention.Group A individuals will only receive hand exercises to improve hand grip strength and manual ability. Group B individuals will receive hand exercises along with sensory stimulation to improve hand grip strength and manual ability. ;

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.
