Pinch Strength Norms for 5- to 12-Year-Olds

Physical and Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics, 2001
Functional performance evaluations and intervention planning for children and youth is informed by comparisons of their performance to normative standards. The literature contains little data regarding the developmental norms for children on pinch strength. A random sample of 414 children was assessed on three separate measures of pinch strength.

The influence of wrist position on different types of pinch strength

Applied Ergonomics, 1991
This study examines the effects of different wrist positions on maximum voluntary (MVC) pinch strength. Peak MVC forces of 30 male adults were measured for lateral, chuck, pulp-2 and pulp-3 pinches, each in five wrist positions-natural, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, dorsiflexion and palmar flexion.

Trends in Finger Pinch Strength in Children, Adults, and the Elderly

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1989
This study explores empirical relationships among different types of pinches in three age groups. Peak maximum voluntary forces of several pinches-lateral, chuck, and pulp pinches with digits 2, 3, 4, and 5-were tested in 182 subjects comprising 62 children (5-12 years), 70 adults (18-40 years), and 50 elderly (60-89 years).

Pinch strength analyses in lacertus syndrome

Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2023
Lacertus syndrome is defined as proximal median nerve entrapment at the lacertus fibrosus. We aimed to analyze change in pinch strengths in patients who underwent median nerve release at the lacertus fibrosus under WALANT (wide-awake local anesthesia, no tourniquet).Pinch strength was measured with a pinch gauge.

Inter-instrument reliability of pinch strength scores

Journal of Hand Therapy, 2001
The consistency of pinch scores obtained with new devices compared with that of scores obtained by traditional devices underlies the ability of therapists to use new devices when communicating about patient status or using normative data published for these traditional devices.

Reliability and validity of grip and pinch strength evaluations

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1984
Twenty-seven college women participated in a study to evaluate the reliability and validity of four tests of hand strength: grip, palmar pinch, key pinch, and tip pinch. Standardized positioning and instructions were followed. The results showed very high inter-rater reliability.

The Effect of Wrist Deviation on Grip and Pinch Strength

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1995
The effect of wrist deviation on grip and pinch strength was evaluated in 12 normal right-handed adults. Wrist positions of neutral, maximal ulnar (average, 41 degrees), and maximal radial deviation (average, 26 degrees) were held in short-arm casts while grip and key and tip pinch were measured.
