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.

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.

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,
