The effect of thumb interphalangeal joint position on strength of key pinch
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1986Thirty normal male and female subjects participated in a study to determine if the interphalangeal (IP) joint position of the thumb affects the outcome of lateral pinch strength tests. The subjects performed strong lateral pinch for three trials with both the thumb IP joint flexed and extended. The results showed that when flexion of the thumb IP joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 1987
67 patients with 176 repaired flexor tendons have been reviewed after a mean follow-up interval of 26.4 months. After repair, mean grip strength was 74.5%, mean finger flexion pressure 76.8% and mean finger pinch pressure 74.7% of that of the opposite uninjured hand or digit.

Hand, 1977
The use of the tendons of the lateral four extensors of the toes in order to transfer the pull of the posterior deltoid to extend the elbow is successful in the OCu:2 quadriplegic patient. The Moberg operation for key pinch in its various modifications also improves the function of these patients and is well received by them.

Implant provision of key, pinch and power grips in a C6 tetraplegic
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1994An 11-channel multiplexed stimulator of nerves and muscles in the left forearm was implanted for hand control in January 1986 in a 21 year old woman who, after sustaining a C6 spinal lesion 7 years earlier, had voluntary shoulder and elbow movement but paralysed hands, trunk and legs. The patient controls the stimulation via a microcomputer control box

Changes in Key Pinch Strength after Excision of the Trapezium and Total Joint Arthroplasty
Journal of Hand Surgery, 2004Key pinch force was measured preoperatively and at follow-up (mean 25 months) in patients treated for basal joint arthritis by either trapziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition ( n=26) or total joint arthroplasty ( n=27). There was a significant increase in key pinch strength with both treatments, but no difference between the ...

One-stage key pinch and release with thumb carpal-metacarpal fusion in tetraplegia
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992One-stage key pinch and release with carpal-metacarpal fusion, extensor pollicis longus tenodesis, and motor transfer to flexor pollicis longus were analyzed for functional results in tetraplegic patients. Eighteen patients (21 hands)--all with International Classification OCu:4 hand function or worse--were studied. Average follow-up was 42 months. All

Functional patterns of thumb key pinch and their influence on thumb strength and stability
Hand Therapy, 2012Introduction Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMC OA) is a common condition frequently related to instability and hypermobility. Many factors are involved in the development of this degenerative process. Recent research suggests that the position of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint may influence TMC joint ...

Single-stage reconstruction of key pinch and extension of the elbow in tetraplegic patients.
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1994The results in ten arms of nine patients who had post-traumatic tetraplegia at the fifth or sixth cervical level were reviewed after combined transfer of the brachioradialis to the flexor pollicis longus and of the posterior part of the deltoid to the triceps tendon to restore key pinch and extension of the elbow.

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of anthropometric data, occupational manual strain, DASH (disability of arm, shoulder and hand) score and range of motion (ROM) on grip strength and key pinch. An additional goal was to develop models that enable the prediction of hand strength using the aforementioned parameters.Normative data ...

Hand grip and key pinch strength in patients with Behçet's disease
Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2008Background: Behcet's disease is predominantly an inflammatory disease with oral and genital ulcus, uveitis and erythema nodosum. It is a chronic disease with unprecetended remission and activation periods. Behçet's disease may also affect extremities in the form of arthritis, myositis, enthesis, tenosynovitis and dactylitis.
