Study of handgrip strength & handgrip endurance in Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetics
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The metabolic programme of muscle mainly goes with availability of glucose in circulation which also decides the force generation, endurance and fatigability of a muscle. As kinetic abilities being dependent on glucose supply, glucose supply being dependent on insulin level the present project was carried out in diabetics to measure handgrip strength and endurance in type1 and type2 diabetics. Methodology: The study included 120 normal subjects, 64 subjects with Type 1 diabetes and 64 subjects with Type 2 diabetes. The study and control group were age matched. the study and control groups were compared for fasting blood sugar (FBS), postmeal blood sugar (PMBS), HbA1c%, Handgrip strength (HGS) and endurance (HGE). For statistical analysis the study group was divided into 3 groups according to age as: 1) Type I Diabetics (n=64) - Group I (31-35), Group II (36-40), Group III (41-45)2) Type II Diabetics (n=64) - Group I (41-45), Group II (46-50), Group III (51-55). Results: It was observed that for all groups of Type 1 and Type 2, FBS, PMBS and HbA1c% were significantly higher in the study group than the control group. HGS was also significantly decreased in all groups of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics as compared to control. HE was significantly increased in Group I and Group II in Type 1 diabetics but significantly decreased in Group I and Group III in Type 2 diabetics as compared to controls. There was no linear correlation between HbA1c % and handgrip strength. Statistical correlation coefficient was -0.19, 0.04, and 0.23 for Group I, II, III of Type 1 diabetics respectively and -0.19, 0.04, -0.27 for Group I, II, and III of Type 2 diabetics respectively. Conclusion: This study clearly suggests that all patients with diabetes should be screened for musculoskeletal manisfestations regularly as a part of regular health check ups as early rehabilitative methods may reduce the disease burden in this population.
