Reliability of Pinch Strength Testing in Elderly Subjects with Unilateral Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability of pinch strength testing in elderly subjects with thumb CMC OA. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 27 patients with unilateral right-thumb CMC OA (mean ± SD age: 81.3 ± 4.7 years) were recruited. Each patient performed three pain-free maximal isometric contractions on each hand on two occasions, one week apart. Three dif...
متن کاملReliability of the Pinch Strength with Digitalized Pinch Dynamometer
OBJECTIVE To examine the intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-instrumental reliability of the digitalized pinch muscle strength dynamometer. METHOD Thirty normal subjects were examined for pinch strength, using both the Preston pinch gauge and the digitalized pinch dynamometer. The participants performed all pinch strength tests in the seated position as recommended by the American Society of ...
متن کاملContralateral Sensory and Motor Effects of Unilateral Kaltenborn Mobilization in Patients with Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis: A Secondary Analysis
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine changes in pressure sensitivity and pinch strength in patients with thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) in the contralateral hand after unilateral Kaltenborn mobilization on the symptomatic hand. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-nine females with dominant hand thumb CMC osteoarthritis participated (age 70-90), and were randomized into 2 ...
متن کاملComparison of two carpometacarpal stabilizing splints for individuals with thumb osteoarthritis.
UNLABELLED Splinting the thumb in carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA) is a common practice; however, research evidence is lacking to support the use of one specific splint design. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of two different splints on hand function, pain, and hand strength in adults with CMC OA. Fifty-six participants were assigned randomly to splint order in a two-p...
