A hand therapist will have various hand strength norms by using a dynamometer to measure grip strength, pinch strength of various pinches. Having an understanding of hand musculature and anatomy of the hand and upper extremity is important too. ...
Hand strength has traditionally been quantified by measuring the hand's maximum ability to squeeze two parallel bars together. The grip dynamometer was created to measure this force and has changed little since the mid-1800's (Lanska, 2000). Isometric grip strength has been measured extensively ...
The knee extension force of both the dominant and nondominant lower extremities was measured by either 1 or both of 2 testers using a hand-held dynamometer. The knee extension forces of the 2 lower extremities were combined and normalized against body weight. Inter-rater reliability was assess...
