Age and Grip Strength Predict Hand Dexterity in Adults

PLOS ONE, 2015
In the scientific literature, there is much evidence of a relationship between age and dexterity, where increased age is related to slower, less nimble and less smooth, less coordinated and less controlled performances. While some suggest that the relationship is a direct consequence of reduced muscle strength associated to increased age, there is a ...

Rare genetic variants impact muscle strength

Nature Communications, 2023
Muscle strength is highly heritable and predictive for multiple adverse health outcomes including mortality. Here, we present a rare protein-coding variant association study in 340,319 individuals for hand grip strength, a proxy measure of muscle ...

Handgrip Strength as an Indicator of Overall Strength and Functional Performance—Systematic Review

Applied Sciences
Reduced muscle strength can affect daily activities, so monitoring is essential. Methods such as isokinetic dynamometers assess maximum muscle force, while hand dynamometers measure hand grip strength.
