Pinch grip, power grip and wrist twisting strengths of healthy older adults
Knowledge of hand function capabilities of older adults is useful to hand therapists, designers of hand prostheses, and designers of food and medication packaging. Muscular strength decreases with age1,2 and a reduction in hand strength can affect the capacity to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs), thus influencing the quality of life. In addition to the natural ageing processes, vario...
متن کاملEffect of the Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance (MORA) on Forearm Muscle Activation and Grasping Power during Pinch and Hook Grip
[Purpose] This study verified the changes in muscle activities and grasping power during maximal isometric exercise of the forearm and masseter muscle with and without a mandibular orthopedic repositioning appliance (MORA). It also offers basic data for defining the correlation of function of hand with mouth. [Methods] EMG was used to measure masticatory muscle, flexor bundle and extensor bundl...
متن کاملPower grip and precision handling.
The recent study by Napier (1956) of the prehensile movements of the human hand is of outstanding importance because it points out that the "nature of the intended activity finally influences the pattern of the grip" (p. 906). 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 کاملTitle : Gender differences in hand grip power in the elderly
This study aimed to clarify the difference in hand grip power in elderly males and females. The subjects were 15 elderly males (mean age 65.6±2.5 yr, mean height 165.7±6.0 cm, mean mass 63.9±5.5kg) and 15 elderly females (mean age 65.0±2.6 yr, mean height 155.2±5.3 cm, mean mass 56.5±7.3kg). Peak velocity was measured by the dominant hand with loads of 30, 40 and 50% of maximum voluntary contra...
متن کاملEffect of Grip Span on Lateral Pinch Grip Strength
Repetitive, high-force pinch grip exertions are common in many occupational activities. The goal of the current study was to quantify the relationship between lateral pinch grip span (distance between thumb and index finger) and lateral pinch grip strength. An experiment was conducted in which 40 participants performed maximal lateral pinch grip exertions at 11 levels of grip span distances (0,...
