Summary

This project will compare the effectiveness of sensory and motor exercises used in clinical settings for healthy young adults. This approach will allow the investigators to evaluate the impact of these exercises on hand functions.

The study plans to include 80 healthy young adults aged 18-25. After providing participants with information about the study's purpose, written informed consent will be obtained to confirm voluntary participation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: "sensory exercise," "motor exercise," and "sensory and motor exercise." The effects on muscle reaction time and hand skills for the dominant hands will be evaluated before and after the exercises.

Conditions

  • Motor Function; Retardation

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Exercise Program

This program consists of wrist motor exercises focused on active range of motion (including flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation, and finger flexion) along with nerve mobilization exercises for the medial, radial, and ulnar nerves. The aim is to enhance motor function in the wrist and hand.

BEHAVIORAL

Sensory Exercise Group

Arm Description: This group will engage in sensory exercises designed to enhance sensory awareness in the hand and wrist. Exercises will include interaction with varied textures (such as sand and sensory balls), different fabrics (fur, satin, linen), and multisensory foam gels. The goal is to improve sensory function and tactile discrimination.

BEHAVIORAL

Combined Motor and Sensory Exercise Group

Participants in this group will perform both motor and sensory exercises as described for the first two groups. By combining motor and sensory interventions, this group aims to improve both motor skills and sensory awareness in the wrist and hand, potentially enhancing overall hand function more effectively.
