Metacarpal squeezing reduces grip strength

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2022
Unduly 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 ...

Comparison of Grip Strength Among 6 Grip Methods

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2014
To 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 ...

Reliability of maximal grip strength measurements and grip strength recovery following a stroke

Journal of Hand Therapy, 2015
Clinical 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, 2016
Studies 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, 1978
Grip 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.

A Description of Grip Strength in Preschool Children

The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1988
Abstract The purpose of this research project was to provide occupational therapists with preliminary descriptive data on the spherical grip strength of 3- to 5½-yearold children using the Martin Vigorimeter. Three hundred and eighty boys and girls were tested. Standardized positioning and instructions were followed.

GRIP Strength Norms for Elderly Women

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2004
As part of community health screenings, the grip strength of 113 independently ambulatory women ( M age = 75.2 ± 7.3 yr.) was measured. Norms derived from the measurements are presented and compared with (a) norms reported for similar procedures about 20 years ago and (b) values for disabled women.

Sugar Proximity and Human Grip Strength

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1988
In 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 ...
