Can a simple grip test reveal mobility gaps in teens with intellectual disability?
NCT ID NCT06934850
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether teenagers with mild intellectual disability have weaker handgrip strength, trunk muscle endurance, and functional mobility compared to their typically developing peers. Researchers will measure these abilities in 51 adolescents aged 12-18 during a single session. The goal is to understand the relationship between these physical fitness measures, which could inform future exercise programs tailored to this group.
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
- This study could help design better physical fitness programs for adolescents with mild intellectual disability, improving their mobility and daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, so findings may not apply to all teens with intellectual disability. It only measures physical performance at one point in time, not long-term outcomes.
