GRIP ‘STRENGTH’ IN THE HEALTHY
Rheumatology, 1982The grip pressures of a normal population were determined using a 900 mmHg column. Men were stronger than women. The dominant hand was the stronger and the difference between the dominant and nondominant hand pressures was less than 10% in both sexes. One determination of grip pressure is adequate for clinical purposes.

Comparison of Grip Strength Among 6 Grip Methods
Journal of Hand Surgery, 2014To measure grip strengths using several methods by serially excluding 1 or 2 phalanges using a flexion-block orthosis and comparing those with standard grip posture in order to facilitate prediction of clinical or functional outcomes that relate to the contribution of each finger to grip strength.Two hundred healthy men aged 25 to 30 years were ...

Grip Strength in the Frail Elderly
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2004To explore the relationship of impairment types to grip strength in the live-at-home frail elderly.All data in this cross-sectional study were collected in face-to-face interviews in subjects' homes by a nurse or occupational therapist. A total of 832 elders with activity limitations, as determined by the FIM instrument, participated in the study ...

Hand Strength: The Influence of Grip Span and Grip Type
Ergonomics, 1991The maximal force from each of the fingers II-V (FF) and the resultant force between the jaws of the tool (RF), due to contribution from all fingers, were measured using a pair of modified pairs. The RF was measured at 21 handle separations and the FF was measured at seven handle separations for each finger. A traditional grip type was compared with a '

Grip Strength Testing Reliability
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1994The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability of isometric grip strength testing using the Jamar dynamometer. Thirty-three subjects, 16 men (mean age = 37.4 years) and 17 women (mean age = 35.5 years), were assessed on two separate occasions using four methods to determine grip strength score.

Grip Strength and Intertrial Rest
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1996This experiment illustrates that the 1991 Montazer and Thomas conclusion that grip strength declines over time is incomplete. 15 men performed 4 grip-strength trials with imertrial rests of 120 sec. Analysis showed that performance did not decrease over the 4 trials, on the contrary, the pattern was that of a learning curve, with a significant ...

Metacarpal squeezing reduces grip strength
Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2022Unduly tight plaster hand casts may narrow the metacarpal joint space, hindering rehabilitation. This study investigated how metacarpal narrowing affects grip strength. Forty-two adult volunteers with no other pathology were included. Dominant and non-dominant hand grip strength was measured with a digital hand dynamometer (Jamar plus, China ...

Reliability of maximal grip strength measurements and grip strength recovery following a stroke
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2015Clinical measurement.The test-retest reliability of maximal grip strength measurements (MGSM) is examined in subjects for 12 weeks post-stroke together with maximal grip strength recovery and the maximal-grip and upper-extremity strength measurements' relationship with capacity and performance test scores.A Jamar dynamometer and the Motricity Index (MI)

The Effect of Wrist Position on Grip Endurance and Grip Strength
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2016Studies on grip endurance are scant even though it is an important topic with practical implications. This study compares the effect of wrist position, in the flexion-extension plane, on grip endurance and grip strength.Grip strength and grip endurance were quantified bilaterally at 6 different wrist positions (unrestrained, 45°, 30°, and 15° extension,

Influence of Psychological Factors on Grip Strength
Journal of Hand Surgery, 2008Grip strength is widely used to assess upper-extremity function. Although grip strength is a quantitative measure of function, grip strength is a reflection of both physical impairment as well as subjective, psychological factors. We investigated the determinants of grip strength with the hypothesis that psychological factors are associated with ...
