Grip strength predicts outcome.
Sir—I was pleased to read the Research Letter of Kerr et al. in the January issue of this journal [1]. In it, they report a relationship between the grip strength and discharge disposition of elders admitted to hospital. Their research, though informative, is not the first to investigate ‘the link between grip strength and outcome in non-surgical settings’. For a primarily aged cohort of patien...
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 کاملGreater hand-grip strength predicts a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes over 10 years in leaner Japanese Americans.
AIMS Much is known about body composition and type 2 diabetes risk but less about body function such as strength. We assessed whether hand-grip strength predicted incident diabetes. METHODS We followed 394 nondiabetic Japanese-American subjects (mean age 51.9) for the development of diabetes. We fit a logistic regression model to examine the association between hand-grip strength at baseline ...
متن کاملDevelopment of an integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and norm of hand grip strength.
This study designs and fabricates a novel integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and analyzes collected grip strength data. The dynamometer directly stores collected data in a computer, unlike those on the market that cannot directly store information. A strain gauge load cell is used as a force sensor. The dynamometer is designed to maximize ergonomics. Excitation voltage of the load cell is...
