Grip strength testing is crucial for diagnosing hand conditions and tracking health over time. Standard values for grip strength have changed, necessitating updated assessment methods for accurate clinical interpretation.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Epidemiology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Grip strength measurement is vital in hand surgery for diagnosis and treatment assessment.
  • It serves as a key indicator in epidemiological studies for healthy aging and disease progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the historical development of dynamometry and measurement technology.
  • To highlight factors influencing grip strength measurement interpretation.
  • To propose methods for assessing voluntarily submaximal grip strength.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical dynamometry development.
  • Analysis of factors affecting grip strength measurements.
  • Examination of standard values across different populations.
