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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
