Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of loads carried with the dominant and non-dominant hand on dynamic plantar pressure parameters in healthy individuals.Participants were required to be between the ages of 20 and 55 years, and to be free from systemic, neurological, orthopaedic or chronic diseases. Individuals with physical or mental disabilities, balance problems, a risk of falling, knee or wrist-hand joint instability, or who were pregnant, were excluded from the study.

H1:Carrying load on the dominant hand increases dynamic plantar pressure parameter values.

H0: Carrying load in the dominant hand does not change the dynamic plantar pressure parameter values.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Individuals carry loads with their right or left hand due to their daily life activities. The load carried causes biomechanical differences on the body.

Research Question: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of loads carried with the dominant and non-dominant hand on dynamic plantar pressure parameters in healthy individuals.

Method: 20 healthy participants aged 20-55 years participated in the study voluntarily. The participants were asked to walk at least six laps at normal walking speed while carrying a load weighing 4 kg with their right and then their left hands. The Sensor Medica pedobarography device was used to evaluate dynamic plantar pressure.
