Impact of Job Related Activities on Female Physiotherapist and Dentist During Internship Year

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Response of hand grip, pinch grip and body composition to type of effort between female physiotherapist and female dentist at internship year.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Fifty physiotherapist and fifty dentist females will be selected from faculty of physical therapy and faculty of dentistry at Badr University in Cairo BUC, both at internship year, and will be assigned into two groups. Group A consists of fifty physiotherapist females will participate in this group and will be assessed at the beginning of the study and after 6 months of clinical work. Group B consists of fifty dentist females will participate in this group and will be assessed at the beginning of the study and after 6 months of clinical work. Digital hand dynamometer will be used to assess hand grip strength and InBody device will be used to assess changes in body composition at the beginning and the end of the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

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