He distinguishes between the "precision grip" and the "power grip" and states that these patterns, "either separately or in combination, provide the anatomical basis for ...

متن کاملGrip and pinch strength: normative data for adults.
The primary purpose of this study was to establish clinical norms for adults aged 20 to 75+ years on four tests of hand strength. A dynamometer was used to measure grip strength and a pinch gauge to measure tip, key, and palmar pinch. A sample of 310 male and 328 female adults, ages 20 to 94, from the seven-county Milwaukee area were tested using standardized positioning and instructions. Right...
