abstract background: measurement of grip strength is important in medical and ergonomy science. this study has two main aims. first, determine the relationship between anthropometric variables and grip strength, tow prioritization of these variables in predicting grip strength. methods: in this applied research , 204 people were participated and their hands were measured by digital caliper (mod...

results grip strength and tip and palmer pinch strength in dominant side were statistically greater than them in nondominant side (p < 0.05). there were significant associations between grip strength and height (r = 0.33, p < 0.001), body mass (r = 0.50, p < 0.001), bmi (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), muscle mass of upper extremity (r = 0.56, p < 0.001), fat free mass (r = 0.57, p < 0.001), fat mass (r ...

measuring and comparing grip and pinch strengths with their normative data is a valid method to detect intensity of the numerous damages of hand. this research was carried out with the aim of establishing normative data of grip strength and three types of pinch strengths (tip, key and palmar) in healthy iranian adults.in this cross-sectional study, the study population was formed of 1008 people...

Background & Aims: Grip strength plays a fundamental role in many daily activities of upper extremities. Reduced grip strength is common in patients with some musculoskeletal disorders in upper extremities. Kinesio taping of the forearm area might help to facilitate muscle contraction through stimulating the skin mechanoreceptors and consequently increasing sensory feedbacks around the taped ar...

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...

abstract background: the measurement of hand grip strength has several clinical applications to evaluate chronic hand disability, response to treatment, and work capacity after hand injury. methods: we measured hand grip strength of 41 adults and compared their maximum strength with radiographic indices. results: there was a significant relationship between hand grip strength and carpal height,...

original article   introduction: functional disability refers to conditions in which a person is not able to fulfill the daily chores and activities on his/her own or requires assistive devices to perform them. the objective of this study was to investigate the functional disability of the elderly in kerman, southeastern iran and its relationship with handgrip strength. method: this cross-secti...
