Hand Function Related to Age and Sex
Authors
Abstract:
Objectives: The purpose of this study was for evaluation of relationship between hand function and age, sex by Jebson Taylor Test.This study determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. Methods: In this study Jebson Taylor was evaluated on hand in 180 normal males and females (0.50% male, 0.50% female) in each of the following 7 subtest in 3 age groups: (15-25), (35-45), (55-65), in Iran, Tehran (Rey). Duration of time in doing test was considered. Results: There was significant deference on hand function (dominate and no dominate) by the Jebson Taylor in 3 age groups. A2-factor analysis with age and sex as factors yielded signi fican difference (P<0.04) on some subtests between males and females in 3 age group. Discussion: The sex factor showed in age groups 15-25 males to be significantly better in "lifting small objects" on dominate hand and in "lifting large,lightweight objects", "lifting large, heavy objects" on no dominate hand. Female performed better in age groups 35-45 in "stacking", "lifting large, lightweight objects" on dominate hand and in "simulated feeding", "stacking" on no dominate hand. In the 55-65 age interval where females were significantly better in "stacking" on both of the hand.

Hand function related to age and sex.
After adapting Jebssen's Test of Hand Function to Australian conditions, this study investigated his claim of no significant difference in hand performance among participants younger than 60 years, and determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. The method was to test 383 subjects of both sexes in 6 age groups. A 2-factor analysis with age and sex as factors yielded signi...
full textSeverity of TMD related to age, sex and electromyographic analysis.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are manifested as a group of signs and symptoms that affect a particular population profile. Some variables such as sex and age influence the clinical expression of this condition. This observational descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to correlate the severity of TMD established by the craniomandibular index (CMI) with the variables: age, sex and electromy...

Maximum cardiac output (Qmax) was determined for 233 males (aged 9 through 53 years) and 102 females (aged 9 through 20 years) by the carbon dioxide rebreathing technique during bicycle exercise. Maximum cardiac output of the males progressively increased from 12.5 to 22.0 liter/min until age 17 through 18 years and was maintained at this level until age 24 years. From age 25 years a decrease i...

Salt preference was assessed in 60 adults of 18-21 yrs of age (30 males and 30 females) and in 60 children of 7-12 yrs of age (30 boys and 30 girls). Subjects rated the preference on Likert scale for popcorns of five salt concentrations (OM, 1M, 2M, 3M and +3M). Statistical analysis using Two way ANOVA revealed statistically significant effect of age and sex on salt preference (F4,100 = 15.027,...
