Clinical Assessments

Clinical Research at Patanjali Research Foundation focuses on clinical variables using bedside assessments used in clinical monitoring and basic clinical equipment’s:

Sagittal Abdominal Diameter (Holtain Ltd, UK) to assess the fat deposited in the gut region (visceral fat).
Body Composition Analyzer (Maltron, UK) to measure the body fat, muscle mass and level of hydration of research participants. Particularly useful to assess the body fat in obese.
Leg & Back Dynamometer (Takei Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., Japan) to assess the strength of leg & back of the research participants.
Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer (Lafayette Instrument Company, USA) to assess the grip strength of the research participants.
Pinch Guage (Jamar, USA) to assess the finger pinch gauge can be used to pinch strength.
Stability Platform (Lafayette Instrument Company, USA) to assess the balancing ability, successfully performing many activities.
Goniometer (Sammons Preston Rolyan, USA) to assess the joint angles and movement.

A participant is being assessed for body composition using a bio-impedance body composition analyzer (Maltron BF-907, UK).

Goniometry: Goniometry with respect to major joint movements.

Goniometry: Goniometry with respect to minor joint movements.
