The objectives of this study were to update the reference values of grip strength, to estimate the prevalence of low grip strength, and to examine the impact of different aspects of measurement protocol on grip strength values in Chinese adults.A cross-sectional survey of Chinese men (n = 714) and women (n = 4014) aged 18-102 years was undertaken in ...

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 '

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 ...

Factors affecting grip strength testing
Neurotoxicology and Teratology, 2003The rodent grip strength test was developed decades ago and is a putative measure of muscular strength. This test has been included in the functional observational battery (FOB) to screen for neurobehavioral toxicity, and changes in grip strength have been interpreted as evidence of motor neurotoxicity.

Physical & Occupational Therapy In Geriatrics, 1997
It is standard procedure for occupational therapists and physical therapists to assess musculoskeletal strength during evaluation. Dynamometric grip strength measurement is one objective measurement of total body strength. Normative data for grip strength in older persons enables rehabilitation professionals to assess the severity of impairment or ...

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.
