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.

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2001
The grip strength in a group of 487 healthy children aged between 5 years and 15 years was measured. There was a clear correlation between age and grip strength. Up to the age of 12 years, there was a striking parallellism between boys and girls. From the age of 13 years, boys developed a 25% stronger grip force than girls.

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 ...

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 ...
