Posture effects on grip strength

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1997
To examine whether grip strengths were different when measured in supine and sitting positions.Comparison, convenience sample.Community.Seventy-four healthy adult participants with no history of psychiatric or neurological dysfunction, or upper extremity orthopedic dysfunction after the age of 18.Participants performed grips with each hand while ...

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.

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.

Grip Strength in the Frail Elderly

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2004
To 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 ...

Voluntary Control of Submaximal Grip Strength

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1990
Stokes (J Occup Med; 1983;25:683-684) proposed that feigned weak hand grip can be distinguished from sincere efforts by examining force measurements for the different handle positions of the Jamar hand dynamometer. Sincere efforts yield a curvilinear relationship between grip force and handle position; feigned efforts yield a horizontal, linear ...

Grip Strength of Texas Special Olympians

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2006
Little is known about the physical fitness parameters of individuals who participate in the Special Olympics. The purpose of this study was to assess the grip strength of 104 Special Olympians participating in the winter Olympic Games. Men were significantly stronger than women across age groups 20 to 59 yr.

Grip Strength following Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
To monitor the effect of open carpal tunnel decompression on grip strength in the hand, a prospective study was made of 25 patients undergoing a total of 31 operations. Hand grip, key pinch and pulp-to-pulp pinch strengths were measured pre-operatively and at regular intervals until 1 year following operation.

How Forearm Position Affects Grip Strength

The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1996
Abstract Objective. Several studies have indicated that changing body positions results in altered grip strengths. Although one might expect that grip strength would be influenced by the position of the forearm during gripping due to the biomechanical properties of the forearm and hand muscles, no investigations of this variable have ...

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 ...
