Relation of Hand Strength to Personality Measures

The American Journal of Psychology, 1952
The 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, 2002
The 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, 1999
This 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, 1985
A 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, 1983
The 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 ...
