Prediction of hand strength by hand injury severity scoring system in hand injured patients
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2011 Hand strength is a key component in human hand function, especially to those with strength-required jobs. To evaluate post-injury hand strength, this study was conducted to assess the predictability of hand injury severity scoring (HISS) system to hand strength after a period of recovery.In this retrospective study, 80 traumatic hand-injured subjects ...

Norms for hand grip strength. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1984 Norms for hand grip strength of healthy children are presented. Sex and age specific centiles for age 5 to 18 years have been determined using a portable strain gauge dynamometer with an accuracy of 0.5 N. The test group comprised 1417 healthy, urban school children from a middle class suburb of Brisbane.
