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. Isokinetic (eccentric and concentric) and isometric grip and pinch strengths were measured with

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,

Strength deficits in primary focal hand dystonia
Movement Disorders, 2005AbstractCortical activation is reduced when patients with focal dystonia perform movements that do not induce dystonic posturing. This finding suggests that the cortical drive to muscles may in some circumstances actually be reduced not increased, as suggested by basal ganglia models of dystonia as a hyperkinetic disorder. The purpose of this study was

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.

Bilateral differences of normal hand strength
Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1983The normal grip strength, pinch strength and key strength was determined by specially designed dynamometers in 30 females and 30 males aged 22-68 years. No significant difference was found between the strength patterns of the dominant and non-dominant hand.

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,

Hand strength measurement instruments.
Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 1980A set of instruments based on strain-gage application has been designed for hand strength measurement. The reduction in size, variation in position, and ease of calibration offer a wide range of functional evaluation without causing discomfort to the subjects being examined.

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 testing using hand-held dynamometry
Physical Therapy Reviews, 2005The reliability of strength measurements obtained during clinical examination has been the subject of many investigations. The need for an accurate, quantitative method to determine strength in multiple settings and environments is important for both examination and treatment.
