Abstract:
Background: Disturbances of the autonomic nervous system play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of many diseases. Sympathetic response is an exaggerated response to stress. Studies have shown that enhanced sympathetic response to stress is an indication of prehypertensive states. Young offspring of hypertensive parents are a good model for assessing sympathetic reactivity prior to clinical hypertension. The aim of this study is to compare the sympathetic response in normotensive offspring of both hypertensive and normotensive parents.Methods: 100 young normotensives, non-smoking and healthy students (male and female) of Manipal College of medical science with a family history of hypertension and 100 young normotensives students, non-smoking and healthy with a negative family history of hypertension were enrolled in the study. Blood pressures at rest and after Isometric hand grip test and cold pressor test were measured. Statistical analysis was done to compare the blood pressure at rest and after isometric hand grip exercise and cold pressor test using independent t test.Results: A statistically significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents, compared to the normotensive offspring of normotensive parents indicating sympathetic overactivity after isometric hand grip exercise and cold pressor test (P<0.001). Conclusions: Normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents showed increase sympathetic reactivity after stress was given in the form of isometric hand grip exercise and cold pressor test. Thus, normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents are more likely to develop future hypertension and the risk is greater when both the parents were hypertensive.Keywords: Cold pressor test; Isometric hand grip test; Sympathetic reactivity.

Abstract:
Background: Most frequently self-reported work-related illness are due to musculoskeletal disorders. Highly repetitive tasks with grasping of the hands, repetitive flexing of the wrist, vibrations and localized mechanical pressure play a role in development of repeated stress injury. Many computer users complain about wrist fatigue, discomfort or pain after typing. Aim: To assess and compare isometric grip strength of computer operators and non-computer operators. Methods: This study was conducted at the Shalimar Institute of Health Sciences. A sample of 30 computer operators and 30 controls (non-computer operators) were recruited after screening hand ultrasonography. Purposive sampling was used. Isometric grip is measured with a hand-held dynamometer. Subjects were asked to hold the dynamometer with full exertion. Each reading is from a maximum contraction period of three seconds with a 30-second pause. Results: Average Hand Grip Strength of computer operators was 27.71±11.19kg and non-computer users was 37.05±11.09kg. The results were statistically significant with the p-value of 0.002. Practical Implications: Continuous computer use reduces hand grip strength therefore those who are having long term use of computers must go for hand grip strength exercises to maintain normal hand grip strength. Conclusion: Computer operators have less isometric hand grip strength than non-computer operators as it was concluded in this study. MeSH words: Isometric hand grip strength, computer operators, non-computer operator

Abstract:
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the temporary changes in systemic blood pressure and intraocular pressure (IOP) induced by isometric exercise. Design: Interventional comparative design. Methodology: The study included 70 participants (mean age: 21.21 years, 54.3% female, 45.7% male) who performed isometric exercise using a handgrip dynamometer. Resting IOP was recorded before the exercise. The exercise protocol involved 20 squat exercises followed by the hand grip exercise. Participants sustained the handgrip with their dominant hand until they could no longer maintain the exertion. IOP was measured during the exercise and at 2, 5, and 10 min after the exercise, first in the right eye and then in the left eye. Blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels were also measured at different time points. Results: Pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels showed significant differences between baseline and after 15 min of exercise. The mean IOP exhibited a significant decrease from baseline to 2, 5, and 10 min of exercise, while no significant change was observed between 5 and 10 min. Conclusion: Isometric exercise induces temporary changes in IOP and systemic blood pressure. Significant decreases in IOP were observed at 2, 5, and 10 min of exercise, with no further change between 5 and 10 min. Pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels showed significant differences after 15 min of exercise. Further research is needed to explore long-term implications and potential risks.

Abstract:
Background: Hypertension is one of the most powerful risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This biggest health challenge has to be detected early so that preventive measures can be taken for the susceptible population. Increased cardiovascular stress responsivity with sustained isometric muscle contraction is associated with cardiovascular disease. So this isometric handgrip exercise is a simple, non-invasive screening test to assess the risk of development of hypertension in future. Aim and objective of the study was to identify the chance of inheritance of hypertension in medical students of hypertensive parents. Methods: After getting ethical committee approval, in this cross sectional study, 50 medical students of Government Sivagangai Medical college with normotensive and hypertensive parents were selected. Heart rate (bpm) and blood pressure (mmHg) before, immediately and 5 minutes after isometric hand grip exercise using hand grip dyanamometer in both the groups. Results: Statistical analysis of the values among the participants was done by student t-test using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 11.0.and the results were compared between the study and control groups. A ‘p’ value of <0.05 is considered significant. Cardiovascular responses are found to be significantly higher in study group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Early and regular screening of the students with hypertensive parents is necessary to prevent cardiovascular complications in future by emphasizing the life style modifications.

Abstract:
Objective: Developmental delay refers to the child who attain milestones in a slower time as compared to normal. Compromised grip strength is one of the common issue in these children which restricts them to perform their daily tasks while improvement in body functions, position of elbow and muscle strength can improve the manual dexterity, grip strength and fine motor skills which will help them to perform the daily activities of life. So the study aimed to determine the effects of Powerball on grip strength in children with developmental delay. Methods: Twenty six children with age 7 to 12 years with developmental delay assigned into two groups. Group A received isometric hand grip training exercises while group B received Powerball exercises along with isometrics. 3 sessions per week and total 12 sessions were given and evaluation of grip strength was measured by using hand held dynamometer and ABIL-HAND kids tool. Results: The mean age of children was 10.08 ± 1.49 years while 23.1% (6) children were of age 9 and 12 years each, while there were 61.5% (16) boys and 38.5% (10) girls.

Abstract:
Background
 Blood pressure (BP) rises as a result of isometric exercise, but if such type of exercise is done on a regular basis both resting diastolic and systolic blood pressures (SBP and SBP) have been reported to decrease. However, the blood pressure responses to handgrip (isometric) exercise may vary. The aim of this study is to find out whether there is a significant relation between blood pressure responses due to handgrip (HG) exercise and family history of hypertension.
 
 Methods
 This is cross sectional study conducted in Khyber Medical College on healthy students of first and second year MBBS. After taking informed consentand history, the students were made to perform the hand grip exercise for 5 minutes at 30 % of their maximum pressure. BP was recorded before during and after the procedure. The data was then analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 keeping, P value ? 0.05.
 
 Result
 The change in SBP was significant both during (p=0.024) and after (p=0.033) hand grip exercise. The relation between 30% of maximum pressure applied and change in SBP is significant (p<0.001) in the familial hypertension present group only.
 
 Conclusion
 There was significant change in systolic blood pressure in response to handgrip exercise in the group of subjects with familial hypertension positive group. Hence concluded that a relation does exist between blood pressure responses to handgrip exercise and familial hypertension.

Abstract:
Objective: According to the recent European Society of Hypertension (ESH) validation protocol for cuffless blood pressure (BP) devices, a novel isometric handgrip exercise test can be used as an alternative procedure to the bicycle test for assessing BP increase accuracy. This study evaluated the BP and heart rate (HR) response during the ESH handgrip exercise test. Design and method: Four baseline BP/HR measurements (R1-R2-R3-R4; mercury sphygmomanometer; 1-min intervals) were performed in resting sitting posture. The maximum grip strength of the dominant hand was determined using a grip strength dynamometer. Handgrip exercise was then performed using resistance set to 30% of the maximum grip strength (using a device with adjustable grip strength). Participants performed an ‘initial exercise session’ to induce BP increase via 12 sets of 8 repetitive handgrips alternating between hands (6 sets per hand, starting with the dominant one). Then, the first post-exercise reference BP measurement (R5) was obtained. Afterwards, a maintenance phase followed with 6 sessions of 4 sets of 8 repetitive handgrips with BP/HR measurements after each session (R6-R7-R8-R9-R10-R11). Resting BP was determined as the average of R3 and R4, whereas the average of R5-R7-R9-R11 was used for determining post exercise reference BP/HR levels. Results: 45 individuals were analyzed [age 47±12 years, body mass index (BMI) 27±4 kg/m2, 69% males, 33% on antihypertensive therapy, resting systolic/diastolic BP 124±16/81±11 mmHg, HR 75±13 beats/min]. In 22% of the participants resting systolic BP was >= 140 mmHg. The average exercise-induced systolic BP increase was 7±5 mmHg. A systolic BP increase >= 8 mmHg, >= 10 mmHg, <5 mmHg was observed in 38%, 27%, and 33% of the participants respectively. No significant changes were observed in diastolic BP (1±3 mmHg) and HR (1±4 beats/min). There was a trend towards an inverse association between BMI and systolic BP increase (r= -0.27, P=0.07). Conclusions: The ESH handgrip exercise validation test for cuffless BP devices produces sustained increases in systolic BP in a considerable proportion of participants, similar to the bicycle test. Thus, this test is useful for validating the ability of cuffless devices to track BP increases.

Abstract:
The relationship between self-esteem and physical condition as measured by hand grip and leg press strength in 65 subjects from two retirement homes was examined in a pre-/post-test design. The originally selected subjects ranged from 60-99 years of age (10 males, 55 females). At the conclusion of the study, 54 subjects remained (5 males, 49 females). The functional description of the subjects was "frail elderly." Although most were mobile and alert, many had some physical or mental disability that prevented them from living independently. The subjects were randomly assigned to three groups: experimental (exercise) and two control groups. There was, however, cross contamination between groups and marked attrition in the experimental group. The study was then redesigned as descriptive and examined twenty hypotheses. No significant relationship was found between physical condition and self-esteem. However, significant negative relationships were found between age and physical condition and hours of rest and physical condition. Significant positive relationships were found between length of stay in the retirement home and self-esteem, hours of activity and leg press strength, and level of control in selection of retirement home and self-esteem. Most elderly subjects did not accept exercise as necessary. Rather, they believed that as the individual ages, the body's need for exercise decreases. The implications are that health education programs for the elderly should be directed toward the need for physical exercise to maintain strength. Strength is necessary for activities of daily living. The ability to maintain activities of daily living will help to improve and maintain the quality of life for the older citizen.

Abstract:
Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka och jämföra kvinnor och män i åldersgrupperna 30-39 år respektive 40-49 år avseende antropometriska mått samt prestation på GIH:s hälsotester. En vidare målsättning var att undersöka om det förekom några skillnader mellan två separata testtillfällen. Frågeställningarna har varit om resultaten på hälsotesterna skiljer sig mellan könen, åldersgrupperna samt mellan två separata testtillfällen. Metod Totalt fullföljde 41 deltagare GIH:s hälsotester, av dem var 20 kvinnor och 21 män mellan 30-49 år. Det enda som krävdes för att delta var att man uppfattade sig själv som frisk. Personer som tidigare haft stroke, hjärtinfarkt eller opererats på grund av hjärtproblem har inte inkluderats, ej heller gravida och personer med ledbesvär. Testerna utfördes på LTIV (Laboratoriet för tillämpad idrottsvetenskap) mellan februari och mars 2016. Resultat Signifikanta skillnader mellan de två separata testtillfällena noterades för några av styrketesterna framför allt hos männen: axelpressar, handgrip och stolresningar. Mellan könen sågs signifikanta skillnader i de antropometriska måtten, samt i flera konditions- och styrketester. Bland dessa kunde signifikant högre värden ses för kvinnorna än för männen i ryggstyrketestet.  Signifikanta skillnader mellan åldersgrupperna 30-39 år och 40-49 år sågs näst intill endast för kvinnor. De yngre jämfört med de äldre kvinnorna presterade bättre i flera av testerna, de vägde mindre och hade mindre kroppsmått. Slutsats Det framkom vanligtvis inte några signifikanta skillnader mellan det första och andra testtillfället, med enstaka undantag. När så är fallet behövs bara ett test utföras initialt inför en period med exempelvis fysisk aktivitet som senare kanske ska följas upp med ett återtest. Skillnader mellan könen och olika åldersgrupper framkom i vissa tester men inte i alla. Resultaten i denna studie beror bland annat på urvalet av individer. Eftersom att syftet med den här studien har varit att endast utföra de tester som ingår i GIH:s hälsotester har inga tester lagts till eller exkluderats. I arbetet diskuteras bland annat hur optimala testerna är som ett mått på hälsa. För att effektivisera hälsotestundersökningar framöver behöver nödvändigtvis inte alla tester utföras.

Abstract:
This chapter mainly introduced the virtual reality as many benefits of robots involved in disability rehabilitation. According to the vision feedback and force feedback, the therapist can adjust his operation. Virtual reality technology can provide repeated practice, performance feedback and motivation techniques for rehabilitation training. Patients can learn motor skills in a virtual environment, and then transfer the skills to the real world. It is hopeful to achieve satisfactory outcome in the field of rehabilitation in the future. VR is mainly used for the upper-limb rehabilitation robot system in this article. The objective of robotic systems for disability rehabilitation are explored to divide the whole rehabilitation training process into three parts, earliest rehabilitation training, medium-term rehabilitation training and late rehabilitation training, respectively. Accordingly, brain-computer training modes, the master-slave training modes and the electromyogram (EMG) signals training modes are developed to be used in rehabilitation training to help stroke patients with hemiplegia to restore the motor function of upper limb. Aimed at the rehabilitation goal, three generations of VR rehabilitation system has designed. The first generation of VR rehabilitation system includes haptic device (PHANTOM Omni), an advanced inertial sensor (MTx) and a computer. The impaired hand grip the stylus of haptic device, the intact hand can control the impaired hand's motion based on the virtual reality scene. The second generation of the VR rehabilitation system is the exoskeleton robots structure. Two virtual upper limbs are portrayed in the virtual environment, simulated the impaired hand and the intact hand, respectively. The third generation is a novel VR-based upper limb rehabilitation robot system. In the system, the realization of virtual reality environment is implemented, which can potentially motivate patients to exercise for longer periods of time. Not only virtual images but also position and force information are sent to the doctors. The development of this system can be a promising approach for further research in the field of tele-rehablitation science.

Abstract:
Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) is the maximum force produced during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). It can be measured by pulling and squeezing a dynamometer with one's hand to determine the amount of static force created. The handgrip dynamometer is used to exercise upper limb muscles, particularly the forearm and hand muscles. Handgrip strength is often considered an objective measure of upper extremity functional integrity. HGS is a physiological characteristic influenced by various parameters such as gender, age, and body size. The purpose of this study was to compare men's and women's maximal handgrip strength. The current study was designed to fill a gap in knowledge on the normative levels of handgrip strength in boys and females in the Jammu region. This can offer baseline data/handgrip reference values in medical students between the ages of 17 and 20. Aims and Objectives: To assess and compare Handgrip strength in healthy first-phase male and female medical subjects. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 250 healthy first-phase medical students aged 17-20 years (125 male and 125 female) was conducted in the research lab of GMC Jammu's Physiology department. Students with a history of upper limb injury/nerve damage, a significant illness, a musculoskeletal problem, or a history of medicines altering motor function were barred from participating in the study. The investigation was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. A handgrip dynamometer determined maximum handgrip strength (Apex International, Amritsar; Punjab; India). The grip strength of the dominant hand was tested three times at minute intervals according to the American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) standard testing technique, with the more excellent reading (in kg) reflecting the maximal handgrip strength for each. Results: SPSS version 26.0 and an unpaired t-test were used to examine the data. Handgrip strength in male subjects (Mean: 41.85 kg) was statistically significant when compared to female subjects (Mean: 31.87 kg) (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: Male individuals had stronger grips than female subjects. This study aims to provide a baseline of normative data (control values) among a sample cohort of GMC Jammu medical students. Our study, however, was limited to medical students between 17 and 20. We believe that diverse age groups should be studied

Abstract:
Introduction: Neurofunctional rehabilitation often employs various approaches to enhance recruitment and muscle strength through overflow, a phenomenon that amplifies the motor response of homologous muscles in the contralateral segment. overflow has been well documented in the literature, particularly in techniques like FNP and cross-education. The phenomenon of overflow is known to facilitate muscle activity in muscles that are not actively stimulated, resulting in unintentional contractions during a resisted isometric activity. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the overflow mechanisms of non-homologous contralateral muscles of the lower limb during an instructed handgrip task. Methods: A total of 90 individuals, with a motor preference for their right upper limb (RUL), were divided into control (CG) and resisted isometry group (RIG) and underwent a protocol involving three maximal hand grip contractions with their RUL and LUL. In assessment 2, the CG performed the same protocol as baseline, while the RIG group performed three maximal isometric contractions of left hip flexion with three maximal contractions of hand flexion with their RUL. statistical analysis was conducted by a multiple comparison analysis of variance with P &lt; 0.05. Results: Observing the data from evaluation 1, both the CG and RIG showed a reduction in strength between the third and first attempt for both the left and right upper limbs (F = 1.07, F = 0.68, respectively). In evaluation 2, the decrease occurred only for the CG in both upper limbs (F = 0.15, F = 1.29, respectively). Conclusion: Our study revealed that maximal muscle strength was maintained in RIG individuals during assessment 2, indicating the existence of overflow when performing an isometric hip flexion task concomitantly with the palmar grip.

Abstract:
Currently, the world's population is aging significantly, and the need for society to promote and maintain healthy aging is expected to rise. Older adults need effective and targeted training products as their physical functions continue to decline with age, creating many complications. In this study, a total of 128 elderly subjects were invited to participate in the experiment using questionnaires, user journey maps, and in-depth interviews to obtain relevant data through in-depth analysis of the transformation and adaptation of the perceptual system, musculoskeletal system, thinking system and psychological characteristics of the elderly to understand their hand training modalities and exercise needs fully. The product uses ergonomic principles and integrated design theory to design an intelligent interactive hand grip training device for the elderly, whose core innovation is the multi-module training form and intelligent interactivity, covering four module functions such as finger pressure training, hand grip training, vibration massage relaxation, and visualization data and emotional interaction. This product's multi-functional overlay design cannot only effectively train the hand of the elderly but also adds humanized emotional interaction design, which significantly improves the user experience and provides design reference for the future development of intelligent interactive hand grip training devices for the elderly.
