    Hand strength, including grip, pinch, and key strength, showed no significant difference between dominant and non-dominant hands in adults. This finding suggests comparing hands is valuable for assessing hand strength issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Hand strength is crucial for daily activities.
    • Assessing hand strength is important in clinical evaluations.
    • Understanding hand dominance effects on strength is necessary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine normal grip, pinch, and key strength values.
    • To compare strength between dominant and non-dominant hands.
    • To evaluate the utility of the non-affected hand as a reference.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized specially designed dynamometers for strength measurement.
    • Recruited 60 participants (30 females, 30 males) aged 22-68 years.
    • Measured grip strength, pinch strength, and key strength.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were observed between the dominant and non-dominant hand strength patterns.
    • Strength values were established for grip, pinch, and key measures.
    • Data provides a baseline for normal hand strength.

    Conclusions:

    • The non-dominant hand can serve as a reliable reference for the dominant hand in strength assessments.
    • This comparison is particularly useful when evaluating hand strength under pathological conditions.
    • Findings support using contralateral hand strength in clinical assessments.
