Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Verify the role of Acupuncture in modifying Handgrip Strength in healthy subjects with a Hand Dynamometer contralateral to Isometric Wrist Flexion Activity at 70% of Maximum Voluntary Isometric Capacity. Verify if Acupuncture modifies the Strength Irradiation Mechanism in healthy subjects with a Hand Dynamometer contralateral to the Isometric Wrist Flexion Activity at 70% of Maximum Voluntary Isometric Capacity.;Found outcome 1: A change in Handgrip Strength was observed after Acupuncture in healthy individuals with a Hand Dynamometer contralateral to Isometric Wrist Flexion Activity at 70% of Maximum Voluntary Isometric Capacity. Acupuncture also modified the Force Irradiation Mechanism in healthy individuals with a Hand Dynamometer contralateral to Isometric Wrist Flexion Activity at 70% of Maximum Voluntary Isometric Capacity. | — |
