About this study
Official title: Effect of Dominant and Non-dominant Hand Load Carry on Dynamic Plantar Pressure
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
plantar pressureDevice
Also called gait analysis
Healthy individuals carry loads with their dominant and non-dominant hands.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Dominant hand | Experimental | Participants are evaluated only once. Receives: Device: plantar pressure |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Plantar Pressure
Plantar pressure will be measured with a baropodometer. The maximum pressure occurring at the time of measurement during load bearing shall be evaluated.
Measured: Baseline

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Plantar Pressure (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2025.
