Hand strength: Normative values
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1994We studied normal hand strength and the difference between dominant and nondominant hands. Two hundred fourteen volunteers were tested with a calibrated Jamar dynamometer at all five levels. A pinch gauge was used to assess key and pulp pinch. Height, weight, sex, hand dominance, and hobby demands were predictive of maximum grip.

PokerBot: Hand Strength Reinforcement Learning
2019 IEEE International Symposium on INnovations in Intelligent SysTems and Applications (INISTA), 2019We sought to explore the problem of teaching a reinforcement learning agent how to play Texas Hold ‘Em (THE), a popular poker game played with a standard 52-card deck. This is an interesting problem because THE, and poker in general, is an incomplete information game in which the best strategy must take into account a significant amount of uncertainty,

Hand Strengths in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2008The purpose of this study was to determine whether a measurable decrease in isokinetic (dynamic) and isometric (static) hand strengths occurs in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients. Eighteen CTS patients and 20 healthy controls were included in the study.

Relation of Hand Strength to Personality Measures
The American Journal of Psychology, 1952The Ss, 139 men, were drawn from junior and senior classes. They were given the GAMIN test by classes in groups numbering from 22 to 29, and the Smedley Hand Dynamometer test in groups of 3. One S tested his hand-grip, both left and right hands, while two of his classmates looked on.

An exploratory look at hand strength and hand size among preschoolers
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2002The purpose of this study was to develop an initial understanding about grip strength, pinch strength and hand size in normally developing 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children. This study also investigated whether there were relationships among lowing variables: hand strength, hand size, age, and gender. A Jamar dynamometer was used to measure grip strength,

A Comparison of Dominant and Non-Dominant Hand Strengths
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999This study compares dominant and non-dominant hand strength in both right- and left-handed participants. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle, power grip strength and pulp-to-pulp pinch strength were assessed under carefully controlled conditions. No significant differences were observed between dominant and

Clinical assessment of hand strength using a microcomputer
The Journal of Hand Surgery: British & European Volume, 1985A microcomputer based system has been designed for precise, objective quantification of hand strength. Pinch, grasp and shear strengths are measured using force transducers. The system, which is quick and easy to operate, not only measures these strengths accurately, but also collects, stores and displays this data numerically or in graphical form, at ...

A Study of Adult Hand Strength
British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1983The need to obtain an objective measurement of grip strength is discussed in the light of a review of the literature on grip strength. A study undertaken to obtain norms which could be used in the department at Addenbrooke's Hospital is described. This study found significant differences in grip strength between the sexes, between age groups, and ...

Strength amplifying hand exoskeleton
2015 41st Annual Northeast Biomedical Engineering Conference (NEBEC), 2015Degenerative muscle diseases characterized by loss of strength and dexterity in the human hand significantly affect the physical, emotional, and social well-being of affected individuals. An assistive hand exoskeleton was designed to amplify residual muscle strength and improve functionality by assisting pinching and grasping motions.
