Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Fist Grip [We measure fist grip at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure fist grip again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
Maximum grip value using hand held dynamometer
- Lateral Pinch (key pinch) [We measure lateral pinch at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure lateral pinch again to assess its progression after 6 months of work.]
using Jamar pinch guage
- Palmer pinch (chunk pinch) [We measure lateral pinch at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure lateral pinch again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
using Jamar pinch guage
- Pulp to pulp [We measure pulp to pulp grip at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure pulp to pulp grip again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
using Jamar pinch guage
- Tip to tip [We measure tip to tip grip at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure tip to tip grip again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
using Jamar pinch guage
- Body mass index [We measure obesity index at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure obesity index again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
Using INBODY device
- Percent of body fat in kg [We measure percent of body fat at 1st time at the beginning of work as interns in clinic then we re-measure percent of body fat again to assess its progression after 6 months of work..]
Using INBODY device
