Bristol has always seemed to me to typify in her professional classes, her business men, and in her social endeavour that combine of solid worth, steady, unfaltering grip, whether in good times or bad, and unheralded point to point attainment, which is summed up in that great word England. We may not wholly agree with Thomas Carlyle that " The English are a dumb people. They can do great acts b...

 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...

results both counterforce straps were effective. however, significantly more improvement was observed in pain and grip strength after using the newly modified orthosis (p < 0.05). conclusions the newly designed strap reduces pain more effectively and improves grip strength by causing greater localized pressure on two regions with different force applications (two component vectors versus one). ...

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...

Currently grip control during in-hand manipulation is usually modeled as part of a monolithic task, yielding complex controllers based on force control specialized for their situations. Such non-modular and specialized control approaches render the generalization of these controllers to new in-hand manipulation tasks difficult. Clearly, a grip control approach that generalizes well between seve...

Introduction: Grip and pinch strength assess the function of hand and is considered as a sign of general health. Considering the high prevalence of related-work musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) due to the incongruity of work with the workers and preventability of diseases that are caused by such incongruity, we decided to study the relationship between maximum oxygen consumption (Vo2max) and w...
