متن کاملParameters influencing hand grip strength measured with the manugraphy system
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine whether sex, hand length and the individual training status affect hand strength and whether these measurements differ if they are recorded using the Jamar dynamometer or a new cylindrical measuring system. METHODS For this purpose, 152 healthy adults were examined using a new manugraphy measuring system (novel, Munich, Germany) comprising two measurin...
متن کاملAssessment of Hand Grip Strength of Orthopedically Challenged Persons Affected with Upper Extremity
The present investigation was aimed to assess the extent of variation in grip strength in relation to the sex and type of deformity among the orthopedically challenged persons affected with upper extremity and to compare the grip strength with that of control (normal) persons. For this purpose 213 subjects having the age range 20-60 years were selected at random. Among them 109 subjects were or...
