Muscle strength: clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Grip strength measured by dynamometry is well established as an indicator of muscle status, particularly among older adults. This review was undertaken to provide a synopsis of recent literature addressing the clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry. RECENT FINDINGS Numerous large-scale normative grip strength projects have been published lately. Other recent ...

Grip strength measured by high precision dynamometry in healthy subjects from 5 to 80 years
BACKGROUND Grip strength is a variable which may be important to measure and follow in various populations. A new dynamometer with high accuracy and sensitivity has recently been developed to assess grip strength. The objectives of this work were to provide norms of maximal isometric grip strength measured with this new dynamometer (the MyoGrip device), to assess the reliability of measurements...
متن کاملReference values of hand-grip dynamometry and the relationship between low strength and mortality in older Chileans
Aim This study was aimed to set reference values of hand-grip strength by age and sex and validate cut points for risk of functional limitation and mortality in older Chileans. Methods This was a pooled analysis of four studies including 6,426 people ≥60 years of nondependent community-dwelling Chileans. After exclusion criteria, the final sample included 5,250 subjects, from whom 2,193 were ...
