Age and Grip Strength Predict Hand Dexterity in Adults
In the scientific literature, there is much evidence of a relationship between age and dexterity, where increased age is related to slower, less nimble and less smooth, less coordinated and less controlled performances. While some suggest that the relationship is a direct consequence of reduced muscle strength associated to increased age, there is a lack of research that has systematically inve...
متن کاملThe Effects of Visuomotor Training Using Pablo System on Hand Grip Strength and Wrist Movements in Adults and Elderly
Objectives: The primary study objective was to assess the effects of visuomotor training on grip strength and wrist movements in adults and the elderly to be efficiently used in rehabilitation. The secondary objective was to compare the post-training changes between the two groups. Methods: This was a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental study, including healthy individuals aged 25-44 (adults...
متن کاملNorms for hand grip strength.
Norms for hand grip strength of healthy children are presented. Sex and age specific centiles for age 5 to 18 years have been determined using a portable strain gauge dynamometer with an accuracy of 0.5 N. The test group comprised 1417 healthy, urban school children from a middle class suburb of Brisbane. Mean maximum grip strength (of four tests, two with each hand) and mean peak grip strength...
متن کامل2 D : 4 D ratios predict hand grip strength ( but not hand grip endurance ) in men ( but not in women )
In humans, the ratio of the second digit to the fourth digit — the 2D:4D ratio — is a sexually dimorphic trait (men, on average, exhibit lower 2D:4D ratios than do women) that is influenced by prenatal testosterone exposure, but not by circulating testosterone levels in adulthood. Consequently, 2D:4D ratios are commonly used as indirect measures of prenatal testosterone exposure. Many studies h...
متن کاملhand grip strength in pregnant and non-pregnant females
conclusions the current study revealed that pregnant females had significantly lower hgs compared with non-pregnant ones. high parity and gravidity and later stage of pregnancy led to significantly lower hgs. higher level of adiposity led to poorer performance of hgs in females. it is recommended to evaluate hgs in antenatal care, which may have diagnostic and prognostic benefits. background ha...
