A Study to Analyse the Immediate Effect of Dry Needling and Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Hand Grip Strength
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
An argument to analyse the Immediate effect of dry needling or extra corporeal shock wave therapy on hand grip strength in normal healthy individuals with a hypothesis of dry needling or shock wave on forearm muscles have influence on the hand grip strength.

Detailed Description
After written consent obtained from all the participants randomization and allocation will be done with sealed non transparent envelopes and participants will be assign to two groups Dry needling(DN) and Extra corporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).Pre and post data of hand grip strength measured with Jamar hand dynamometer.Post data shall be collected precisely after 1 hr of intervention from both groups.
