Measurement of maximum voluntary pinch strength:
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2003Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of forearm position and outcome score on key, fingertip, and three-jaw chuck pinch strength. Maximum voluntary key, fingertip, and three-jaw chuck pinches were performed by 135 healthy adults (20–88 years old) three times in a pronated, supinated, and neutral forearm position with the ...

The effects of pinch width on pinch strengths of adult males using realistic pinch-handle coupling
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 1995Abstract This study examined the effects of pinch width on pinch strengths, using more realistic pinching conditions — larger contact area, worktable height pinching level, and freedom to hyperextend the thumb when gripping. Chuck, pulp-2 and lateral pinches were tested at widths within the range of 2.0–14.0 cm among 17 right-handed male volunteers ...

Pinch Strength Norms for 5- to 12-Year-Olds
Physical & Occupational Therapy In Pediatrics, 2001Functional 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.

Fluctuation in grip and pinch strength among normal subjects
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1989Grip and pinch strength testing are commonly used to evaluate hand strength for disability ratings and to assess responses to various forms of therapy. This study determined the variations in grip and pinch strength in normal individuals. Ninety-five healthy subjects--61 women and 34 men--were examined prospectively by use of a Jamar dynamometer and a ...

Pinch and Grasp Strength: Standardization of Terminology and Protocol
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1985Abstract We implemented a tridirectional survey to begin the standardization process for grasp and pinch terminology and protocols for testing and to improve the communication between rehabilitation professionals who assess hand strength.

EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF SPLINT, PINCH TYPE, AND WRIST POSTURE ON PINCH STRENGTH
Journal of the Chinese Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2003ABSTRACT Pinch strength applied in repetitive tasks was considered to be highly correlated with cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs). To reduce the magnitude requirement of pinch strength is important to avoid such injuries. But whether the peak pinch strength was affected by wearing wrist splints, sometimes used to protect the wrist from CTDs, is still ...

Effect of forearm position on pinch strength measurements
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1988Abstract Fifty college women participated in a study to investigate the effect of forearm position on pinch strength measurements. Standard instructions and positioning were followed for each of the forearm test positions, neutral and fully pronated. Key and palmar pinch were measured using both positions.

The Effect of Wrist Deviation on Grip and Pinch Strength
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1995The 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.

Grip and Pinch Strength Variations in Different Types of Workers
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1997We measured grip and pinch strengths in non-manual, light manual and heavy manual workers using a Jamar dynamometer and a pinch measuring device. Heavy manual workers had the strongest grips with the least difference between sides. Office workers had the weakest grips and the greatest difference between sides.

Effect of elbow position on grip and key pinch strength
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1985Twenty-nine college women participated in a study to investigate the effect of elbow position on grip and key pinch strength evaluations. Standardized instructions and positioning were followed with the exception of the two elbow positions. The elbow was flexed to 90 degrees in one test condition and it was fully extended in the other.
