Conclusion: Older patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic foot disease had a higher rate of low handgrip strength. Low handgrip strength was significantly associated with the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers and directly correlated with Wagner score in geriatric patients with type...
They found that every 5-kg reduction in handgrip strength was associated with 10-percent greater odds for any cognitive impairment and 18-percent greater odds for severe cognitive impairment. More importantly, the researchers interpreted the findings to mean that a reduction in grip strength is asso...
Measuring handgrip strength is the initial step to diagnose sarcopenia. To investigate whether the serum creatinine (Cr)/cystatin C (CysC) ratio could serve as a case-finding tool for low handgrip strength, we conducted a diagnostic accuracy study. Adult
Furthermore, all patients with slow walking speed also showed low handgrip strength. Thus, for the evaluation of muscle dysfunction, grip strength might be a suitable proxy for walking speed in CLD patients with HCC. 展开 关键词: gait speed handgrip strength hepatoma muscle function sarcopenia ...
They found that every 5-kg reduction in handgrip strength was associated with 10% greater odds for anycognitive impairmentand 18% greater odds forsevere cognitive impairment. They assessed handgrip with a hand-held dynamometer, and cognitive function with a modified Mini-Mental State Examination, a...
Handgrip strength (HGS) weakness and asymmetry are both abnormal conditions of upper-limb muscle strength. The association between HGS weakness and physical performance is controversial, and the link between HGS asymmetry and physical performance remains unclear.This study aimed to investigate the associa...
weakness is defined as maximal handgrip strength below the 10th percentile of the UK Biobank reference values, taking gender, age, and height into account in at least one side, while in this reference percentile 5 was calculated as a point of reference for abnormally low handgrip strength. Can...
Weak grip strength is linked with shorter survival and a greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke, according to an international study involving almost 140000 adults from 17 culturally and economically diverse countries. The study, published inThe Lancet, also found thatgrip strengthis a str...
Perceived fatigability, maximal hand grip strength and muscle activity (electromyography) of the wrist flexors and extensors were recorded in between these exercises for the dominant and non-dominant hand. Results and discussion There was a significant decrease in maximal hand grip strength after ...
