Hand span influences optimal grip span in adolescents with Down syndrome
INTRODUCTION The hand grip strength test provides useful and reliable information about overall health. Different studies have investigated the optimal grip span for determining maximal hand grip strength in different populations such as adults, adolescents and children without disabilities. OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether there is an optimal grip span for determining maximal hand grip strengt...
متن کاملHand span influences optimal grip span in male and female teenagers.
PURPOSE To determine if there is an optimal grip span for determining the maximum handgrip strength in male and female teenagers, and if the optimal grip span was related to hand span. If they are related then the second aim was to derive a mathematic equation relating hand span and optimal grip span. METHODS One hundred healthy teenage boys (15.1 +/- 1.1 y) and 106 girls (15.4 +/- 1.3 y) wer...
متن کاملHand size influences optimal grip span in women but not in men.
This study investigates which position (grip span) on the standard grip dynamometer results in maximum grip strength. Our null hypotheses included (1) no optimal grip span exists for measuring grip strength and (2) optimal grip span is unrelated to hand size. We also intended to derive a simple mathematical algorithm to adapt grip span to hand size. Seventy healthy subjects (40 women/30 men; me...
متن کاملEffect of Grip Span on Lateral Pinch Grip Strength
Repetitive, high-force pinch grip exertions are common in many occupational activities. The goal of the current study was to quantify the relationship between lateral pinch grip span (distance between thumb and index finger) and lateral pinch grip strength. An experiment was conducted in which 40 participants performed maximal lateral pinch grip exertions at 11 levels of grip span distances (0,...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pliers’ Grip span in Both Genders
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of gender and grip span (45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75mm) on resultant force, Individual finger force and subjective discomfort rating. A total of 16 participants (8 males, 8 Females) were participated in this study. All participants were asked to exert a maximum grip force with three repetitions, and to report the subjective discomfort rating f...
