7 Φεβ 2014 · Recovery after a stroke estimate the differences in repeat measures of hand grip strength to be between 4.7 kg and 6.2 kg Older Adults and Geriatric Care back to Populations
That research shows grip strength to be (1) an acceptable indicator of overall muscle strength5; (2) impaired in various musculoskeletal,1,3 neuromuscular,10 and cardiovascular/pulmonary conditions34; (3) fundamental to the diagnosis of frailty18 and sarcopenia12; and (4) prognostic of untoward.
31 Αυγ 2018 · The authors present grip-strength reference values using summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, and percentile). The mean grip strength ranged from 49.7 kg for the dominant hand of men 25 to 29 years of age to 18.7 kg for the nondominant hand of women 75 to 79 years of age.
Grip strength measurements are used to provide clinicians with an indication of overall health, but interpretation of these data requires valid reference values so that patient measurements can be compared to age- and sex-specific normative data.
Reliable and valid evaluation of hand strength is of paramount importance in determining the effectiveness of various surgical or treatment procedures. In addition, normative data are needed to interpret evaluation data; to set realistic treatment goals; and to assess a patient's ability to return to employment.
1 Μαρ 2006 · Means and 95% confidence intervals are presented for the left and right sides of men and women in 12 age groups (20–24, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75+...
Among healthy 45- to 68-year-old men, hand grip strength was highly predictive of functional limitations and disability 25 years later, suggesting good muscle strength in midlife may protect people from old age disability by providing a greater safety margin above the threshold of disability.
