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 ...

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.

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.

Comparison of Grip Strength Among 6 Grip Methods
The 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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)

Motorcycle Clutch Grip Strength
Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2014The purpose of this study was to evaluate the maximum grip force a user can exert on a motorcycle clutch. In a laboratory setting subjects (57 male; 34 female, 95% right-handed) were asked to exert maximum grip strength using their left hand on an actual motorcycle clutch that was instrumented with a load cell. The clutch was capable of being fixed in
