conclusions the current study revealed that a significant difference existed in hgs among the low, medium, and high bmi groups. a positive correlation existed between hgs and weight and height, while sex was the most significant factor affecting hgs. these findings can serve as a reference to assess hgs prediction, whereby the sex effect should be considered. results the results showed that the...

conclusions the current study revealed that pregnant females had significantly lower hgs compared with non-pregnant ones. high parity and gravidity and later stage of pregnancy led to significantly lower hgs. higher level of adiposity led to poorer performance of hgs in females. it is recommended to evaluate hgs in antenatal care, which may have diagnostic and prognostic benefits. background ha...

Problem statement: Numerous fitness tests are usually administered to determine either muscular strength or cardiovascular endurance. Even though an ample number of exist measure upper body endurance and lower maximal strength, a single test that assesses both could be beneficial in some circumstances. Purpose: The purpose this study was if hand-grip dynamometer is valid predictor explosive str...

background: grip strength is one of the important criteria in determining the physical fitness of all people, especially athletes. the purpose of this study was to compare the hand-grip strength of young highly trained male athletes of different fields and the effect of some anthropometric indices on it. methods: this cross-sectional study was done on 78 athletes of four fields -wrestling, badm...

Background: Hand dexterity a measure of hand flexibility and coordination can be affected by many factorsincluding grip strength. However, there are limited studies data about the association between handdexterity strength in Asian population. Hence, we aim to investigate relationship healthy males aged 18 25 years old population.Methods: Fiftyhealthy adult male participants 18-25 were recruite...

background: hand grip strength (hgs) is a reliable indicator of peripheral muscle strength. although, numerous studies have investigated the strength of hand grip; little attention has been given to coronary artery disease (cad) patients, exploring the relationship between hgs and myocardial oxygen consumption (mvo2) index. the current study aimed to evaluate the interaction between hgs and mvo...

The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to describe the hand strength, self-reported manual ability and health status in individuals with osteo- or rheumatoid arthritis, and (2) to evaluate the scale (psychometric) properties of the 36-item Manual Ability Measure (MAM) as it applied to this sample. We administered four self-report assessments to the participants and measured their grip and pi...

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...
