What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This observational study looks at whether core stability is linked to hand grip strength and handwriting performance in typically developing children aged 8 to 12. Researchers will measure core endurance, grip strength, and handwriting legibility in 100 primary school children. The goal is to understand how these motor skills relate during middle childhood.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could inform school-based activities or exercises to support children's motor skills and handwriting development.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all children or those with motor difficulties.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of typically developing school-aged children between 8 and 12 years of age. Participants of both sexes will be recruited according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Children with neurological, musculoskeletal, visual, cognitive, or developmental disorders that could affect core stability, hand grip strength, or handwriting performance will be excluded. Written informed consent will be obtained from the parents or legal guardians of all participants before enrollment in the study.
