Get a Grip: Variation in Human Hand Grip Strength and Implications for Human Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
Although hand grip strength is critical to the daily lives of humans and our arboreal great ape relatives, the human hand has changed in form and function throughout our evolution due to terrestrial bipedalism, tool use, and directional asymmetry (DA) such as handedness.

Hand strength: the influence of grip span and grip type

Ergonomics, 1991
The 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 '

Hand grip strength, anthropometrics and cognitive decline

Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2023
AbstractBackgroundHand grip strength is a well validated measure of physical strength, while anthropometric measures such as weight, waist, hip and mid upper arm circumference, are well validated to determine physical health. The present analysis investigated the relationship between hand grip strength, anthropometric measures and dementia incidence in

Association of baseline hand grip strength and annual change in hand grip strength with mortality among older people

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2020
Clinicians have increasing access to longitudinal data on hand grip strength (HGS), often measured for frailty or sarcopenia assessment, of their older clients. Evidence on the association of change in HGS with mortality is mixed. We investigated whether baseline hand grip strength (HGS) and annual change in HGS are associated with mortality among ...

Effect of Viewed Color on Hand-Grip Strength

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1998
Published reports on the effects of viewed color on physical strength are compromised by failure to specify each of the three dimensions of the color stimuli used The present study investigated the relationship between color and grip strength by independently measuring the effects of the three dimensions of color.

Hand grip strength and early mortality after hip fracture

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2020
This research describes the risk of death in elderly after hip fracture according to their strength, measured by hand grip. The result is that the weaker the patient, the greater the risk of death after hip fracture, highlighting the need to assess the force in those patients.
