OBJECTIVES To describe and correlate tongue force and grip strength measures and to verify the association of these measures with water swallowing in different age groups. METHOD Tongue force was evaluated using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument and grip strength using the Hand Grip in 90 normal individuals, who were divided into three groups: young (18-39 years old), adult (40-59 years ol...

Muscular strength, usually quantified through the grip strength, can be used in humans and animals as an indicator of neuromuscular function or to assess hand function in patients with trauma or congenital problems. Because grip strength cannot be accurately measured, several contaminated measurements are often taken on the same subject. A research interest in grip strength studies is estimatin...

BACKGROUND Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) frequently lead to the AI-induced musculoskeletal syndrome (AIMSS). Looking into its pathophysiology, 6 months of AI therapy thickens the tendon sheath with intra-articular fluid (IAF) retention and loss of grip strength. We here report 24-month follow-up data. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective cohort study of 33 postmenopausal breast cancer patients rec...

The aim of this study was to explore muscle strength and its relation to exercise habits in Japanese. We used data from 3,018 men and 6,881 women aged 20-69 years and not using medications in a cross-sectional study. Exercise habits and muscle strength, i.e. grip strength and leg strength, were measured. Age-related changes in muscle strength were noted. Exercise habits were found in 984 men (3...

A strain gauged torsion dynamometer linked to a microprocessor was used to assess the dynamic qualities of isometric grip strength in patients with rheumatic diseases. Maximum grip strength, time to maximum grip, and percentage fatigue provide independent information on the grip. Time to maximum grip does not appear to be an objective correlate of subjective stiffness. The usefulness of these d...

OBJECTIVES Grip strength and reasoning are associated in old age. This is one of the few longitudinal studies addressing whether aging of one causes decline in the other or whether they share causal influences. METHODS The Lothian Birth Cohort 1921 were assessed for grip strength and nonverbal reasoning at ages M = 79 (N = 550), M = 83 (N = 321), and M = 87 (N = 207). Associations among inter...

definitely leads to increased risk of death among those with established CVD. In that context, the comment in an accompanying editorial by Sayer and Kirkwood is noteworthy; one way that reduced skeletal muscle strength increases incident CVD and its fatality, may be through it being a biomarker of the ageing process across the life course. Put simply, reduced grip strength might be a marker (or...
