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 ...

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,

Grip Strength of Cerebral Palsied
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1978Grip strength of 120 cerebral palsied and 136 able-bodied was measured to establish comparative values. The cerebral-palsied male and female had average grip strength of 228 N and 171 N in the dominant hand, respectively. The corresponding values for able-bodied male and female were 505 N and 308 N, respectively.

Sugar Proximity and Human Grip Strength
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1988In a double-blind experiment with 90 undergraduate students the hypothesis was tested that proximity to sugar reduces human grip strength. An earlier study indicated that sugar proximity does indeed significantly reduce human grip strength. When additional controls were added to this design to reduce random sampling error, the hypothesis was not ...
