Abstract:
PURPOSE: Muscle strength is often higher when measured on the dominant hand compared to non-dominant hand and there are reports of differences in the mortality rate between left-handed and right-handed people in Korean population. Therefore, it is necessary to longitudinally investigate the effect of the grip strength of the dominant hand on mortality rates.METHODS: Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) from 2006 to 2016 was assessed and 9,196 research subjects were included at baseline. To analyze the effect of grip strength on mortality rates by measuring that of 1) the right hand, 2) the left hand, and 3) the dominant hand for right-handed and left-handed people analyze the association between grip strength and mental health disorders, generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used.RESULTS: The association between grip strength and all-cause mortality was statistically significant in both hands. When the grip strength was measured with the right and left hands, respectively, the log likelihood ratio test for the Akaike information criterion (AIC) of both hands for mortality was significant (p=.018). When the grip strength for left-handed people was measured with the right and left hands, the log likelihood ratio test for the AIC of both hands for mortality was significant (p=.0009). Taken together, there was no difference in mortality between right-handed and ambidextrous individuals according to the measurement of right-handed and lefthanded grip, but left-handed individuals had a higher mortality according to the measurement of right-handed grip than that of the left hand, which is the dominant side.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, there was no difference and mortality according to the dominant hand and the measurement of grip strength in the right hand is a better predictor of mortality than the use of maximum or average value after measuring grip strength in both hands.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: The effect of the absence or presence of the Palmaris longus tendon on pinch and grip strength was investigated in this study. Similarly, the effect of the presence or absence of the fifth superficial flexor digitorum on grip strength in the hand was studied. The aim of the present study was to assess the combined effect of these anatomical variations on pinch and grip strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 523 volunteers and their 1046 hands were enrolled. Each hand was assessed for the presence or absence of the Palmaris longus tendon and for variations in the fifth superficial flexor digitorum function. Then the grip and pinch power of the hands were measured with the Jammar Dynamometer. RESULTS: The presence or absence of Palmaris longus had no effect on grip strength in the individuals studied. Likewise, variations in fifth superficial flexor digitorum function had no effect on grip and pinch strengths. But the results of statistical testing showed the effect of the presence of Palmaris longus on pinch strength (25.38 lbs in hands with Palmaris present vs 24.43 lbs in hands without Palmaris). Pinch and grip power was higher in men than in women and in the right hand than in the left. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of the present study, it seems that absence of the Palmaris longus tendon is associated with a reduction in pinch strength but has no effect on grip strength, and the variations in the fifth superficial flexor digitorum (flexor digitorum superficialis, or FDS) have no effect on pinch and grip strengths.

Abstract:
Although hand grip strength is critical to the daily lives of humans and our arboreal great ape relatives, the human hand has changed in form and function throughout our evolution due to terrestrial bipedalism, tool use, and directional asymmetry (DA) such as handedness. Here we investigate how hand form and function interact in modern humans to gain an insight into our evolutionary past. We measured grip strength in a heterogeneous, cross-sectional sample of human participants (n = 662, 17 to 83 years old) to test the potential effects of age, sex, asymmetry (hand dominance and handedness), hand shape, occupation, and practice of sports and musical instruments that involve the hand(s). We found a significant effect of sex and hand dominance on grip strength, but not of handedness, while hand shape and age had a greater influence on female grip strength. Females were significantly weaker with age, but grip strength in females with large hands was less affected than those with long hands. Frequent engagement in hand sports significantly increased grip strength in the non-dominant hand in both sexes, while only males showed a significant effect of occupation, indicating different patterns of hand dominance asymmetries and hand function. These results improve our understanding of the link between form and function in both hands and offer an insight into the evolution of human laterality and dexterity.

Abstract:
Hand arthritis is the leading cause of disability in individuals over the age of 50, causing impairments in grip strength and range of motion. Golf is often recommended to patients with hand arthritis as a low-impact sport to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As such, numerous “arthritic” golf grips have been marketed, but lack quantitative measures to justify their use. The objective of this study was to quantify the differences in total applied grip force in golfers with/without hand arthritis using several types of golf grips. Twenty-seven participants (17 without and 10 with hand arthritis) were evaluated swinging mid-iron clubs with 12 different golf grip designs (9 standard and 3 “arthritic”). The trail hand thumb, index, middle, and ring finger applied grip forces were measured using the wireless FingerTPS system. Finger grip configuration (finger joint angles) of the thumb and index were measured using the Dartfish Movement Analysis Software paired with the newly developed Grip Configuration Model to obtain grip range of motion. Results indicated that golfers with hand arthritis had a significant deficit of 45% golf grip strength (P = 0.02). In addition, individuals with hand arthritis exhibited larger forces in 11 out of 12 golf grips tested when compared with their maximum golf grip strength. Despite how these grips are marketed, there are no “savings” in finger force or grip configuration when using the “arthritic” designed golf grips. Therefore, these grips may not be beneficial for patients with hand arthritis.

Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the development level of children’s physiological hand shape indicators and their relationship with grip/pinch strength. Methods Hand shape and grip/pinch strength in 1255 Chinese children aged 5 to 13 years were prospectively measured. Development curves of physiological hand shape indicators and grip/pinch strength were constructed. Results The physiological hand shape indicators (full length, middle finger length, width, and wrist thickness) and grip/pinch strength of boys and girls increased with age and showed statistically significant differences at different ages. In most age groups, hand shape indicators and grip/pinch strength were larger in boys than in girls of the same age. After puberty, the physiological hand shape indicators and grip/pinch strength increased more rapidly in girls than in boys of the same age, and the differences gradually decreased thereafter. Moreover, a significant difference in pinch strength between the right and left hands was observed in most age groups. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the physiological hand shape indicators were significantly positively correlated with grip/pinch strength, height, weight, and body mass index. Conclusions This study revealed the relationship between physiological hand shape indicators and grip/pinch strength and provided reference ranges of physiological hand shape indicators and grip/pinch strength for children.

Abstract:
With increasing number of women entering into jobs traditionally held by men, it has been found that tools and equipment originally deisgned for the “average man” do not fit women, smaller mean or other persons. Thirty college students (7 females, 8 dominant left handed males and 8 dominant right handed males) squeezed alternately with both dominant and non-dominant hands twice a Lafayette dynamometer at 5 grip span settings. The results indicated that grip strength increased with increasing grip span up to the preferred grip span. Female grip strength was 53% of male grip strength. The non-dominant hand produced 89.6% of dominant hand grip strength. More interestingly both male and female left handers exihibited nearly identical grip strengths for both hands, leading one to suspect that left handed people are being forced to adapt to a right handed world. It thus appears that certain female workers may be at a double disadvantage with gender and left handedness reducing grip strength by 2/3. However, tools and equipment can be modified to accommodate weaker individuals.

Abstract:
The Department of Occupational Health and Safety at Work, of the Ministry of Labour, Manpower Planning and Social Welfare in Zimbabwe, has consistently reported an appreciable number of occupational injuries involving the hand. In the central hospitals, routine hand assessment includes range of movement, sensory and muscle strength tests, as well as hand grip strength tests. Differences had been observed in the hand grip measurements obtained when compared with norms developed by Kellor et al (1971). The aim of this study was, therefore, to assess the trend in the grip strength of a sample of adult male Zimbabweans. Hand grip strength measures for the right and left hands of 204 male Zimbabweans, aged 18–56 years, were taken using a Jamar® dynamometer. The relationship between these grip strength measures and age, height, weight and body mass index was assessed. Grip strength percentage difference between dominant and nondomlnant hands did not obey the 10% rule, which assumes that the dominant hand can be up to 10% stronger than the nondominant hand. Grip strength was negatively related to age but positively related to body weight and height. The need for additional studies to establish normative data for grip strength measurements for use in the clinical situation is Indicated.

Abstract:
Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) is a chronic painful and disabling condition. Patients complain about upper-limb paresthesia or weakness. Weakness has been considered one of the diagnostic criteria of NTOS, but objective comparisons to healthy controls are lacking. We compared the grip and the key pinch strengths between NTOS patients and healthy controls. Grip strength was evaluated with a hydraulic hand dynamometer and the key pinch with a pinch gauge. All the patients with NTOS completed a QuickDASH. We included prospectively 85 patients with NTOS, 73% female and 27% male. The mean age was 40.4 ± 9.6. They were compared to 85 healthy subjects, 77.6% female and 22.4% male. Concerning the grip, symptomatic hands of NTOS patients had significantly 30% less strength compared to control hands (p ≤ 0.001), and 19% less strength compared to asymptomatic hands (p = 0.03). Concerning the key pinch, symptomatic hands of patients with NTOS had significantly 19.5% less strength compared to control hands (p ≤ 0.001). Grip and key pinch strengths had a significant correlation with the QuickDASH (r = −0.515 and r = −0.403, respectively; p ≤ 0.001). Patients with NTOS presented an objective hand strength deficit compared to healthy controls. This deficit was significantly correlated to the upper-limb disability. These findings confirm the interest of hand strength evaluation in the diagnostic process of patients with NTOS.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation among three hand strength measurement methods: Hand dynamometer, MDD (Middle Digital Extension Isokinetic Dynamometer), and Cybex. Five students (2 males, 3 females) from Ball State University were asked to participate in this study. Both right and left lower arm data were collected from these subjects. A Cybex 340 (Lumax Cor.) was employed to determine wrist flexion and extension isokinetic peak torque, total work, and power at 30 degrees/second and 60 degrees/second. A MDD was used to determine third digit eccentric torque, work, and power. A hand dynamometer (Lafayette Instrument Co., Model 76618) was used to determine grip force. Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were used to determine correlation among these variables. Significant correlations were noted between isometric grip strength and isokinetic 30 and 60 degrees/second wrist flexion power, as well as between isometric grip strength and isokinetic 30 degrees/second wrist extensor power. The results of this study indicate there is very little relationship between the three clinically used measurement tools.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore utility of handgrip strength measured by the hand-grip dynamometer for assessment of nutritional status in protein-calorie malnutrition. The first study included six subjects (all right-handed), who had grip strength measured daily for five days, then weekly for three weeks. Intra-individual variability was approximately 10%. No learning or training effect was observed. Change in leg position from feet on the floor to elevation of feet made no significant difference in grip-strength measurement. In Phase Two, 43 healthy adult subjects (three left-handed) prior to elective surgery, height was significantly related to handgrip strength (r = 0.82, p < 0.001). Males were stronger than females. After surgery, the non-dominant hand lost significant strength (2.68 kilograms) and recovered more quickly than the dominant hand. Multiple regression analyses provided predictive equations for pre-surgery left hand-grip strength using age, sex, and height (R² = 0.77); from age, sex, hand measured, and grip strength two days after surgery or three days after surgery (R² = 0.89 for each). Ten sequential grip-strength measurements analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance with orthogonal comparisons showed a difference in measurements between hands as well as before and after surgery. The slope of the measurement line was more linear before and three days after surgery, but more quadratic in shape two days after surgery. The effects seen by type of surgery were inversion of the slope of right hand sequential measurements two days after knee surgery and before-surgery drop and increase from trial five to trial seven in left hand sequential measurements of knee and vaginal hysterectomy subjects. In a six-month-long case study, grip-strength measurements were followed in a seriously-ill 68-year-old patient hospitalized for surgical repair of hiatal hernia and mucous fistula who underwent several periods of nutritional depletion. Grip strength varied throughout the period (although not differently from healthy subjects), but did not directly parallel changes in serum albumin or prealbumin. The conclusion was that hand strength measured by the handgrip dynamometer did not change enough with fasting and surgery from normal day-to-day variability to be useful for nutritional assessment.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Bålstabilitet är nödvändigt för att hålla balansen och möjliggör kraftöverföring genom kroppen. Detta gör bålstabilitet viktigt i vardagliga sysslor, sportutföranden och för att minska risken för skada. En bättre förståelse över bålstabiliteten i olika sporter kan utveckla träningsprogram, inte bara för att förbättra bålstabiliteten, utan även för att förbättra den generella prestationen. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader i båluthållighet mellan unga kvinnliga ryttare och fotbollsspelare, och associationen med handgrepp styrka och rotationsrörlighet i ryggen. Metod:  Båluthålligheten undersöktes med McGill’s båluthållighets test, mellan kvinnliga ryttare (n = 10) och fotbollsspelare (n = 10), ålder 16 – 20. Handgreppsstyrkan undersöktes med en handdynamometer och användes som en indikation av generell styrka. Ryggrotations testet undersöktes men en Myrinmätare. Shapiro-Wilks användes för att bekräfta normalfördelning av data. Oberoende t-test användes för att jämföra båluthållighet (sek.) mellan ryttarna och fotbollsspelarna. Signifikansnivån fastställdes till <0,05. Ett styrkeförhållande räknades ut (kg/kg kroppsvikt) och Pearsons korrelationskoefficient användes sedan för att undersöka associationen med båluthållighet (sek.). Pearsons korrelationskoefficient användes också för att undersöka associationen mellan medelvärdet av ryggrotation (°) och båluthållighet (sek.). Hög korrelation fastställdes när r> (0,7), måttlig korrelation när r = (0,3 – 0,7) och låg korrelation när r <0,3.  Resultat: Resultaten visade att ryttarna hade bättre uthållighet i bålextensionen, jämfört med fotbollsspelarna (p = 0,006). Lateralflexionen av bålen visade ingen skillnad mellan ryttarna och fotbollsspelarna (p = 0,924; p = 0,423). Handgrepp styrkan visade måttlig korrelation med bålextensionen (r = 0,631; r² = 0,398) och båda sidor av lateralflexionen av bålen (r = 0,411; r² = 0,169; r = 0,615; r² = 0,378). Rotationsrörligheten i ryggen visade låg korrelation med samtliga båluthållighets tester (r >0,3). Slutsats: Resultaten indikerar få skillnader mellan ryttare och fotbollsspelare, vilket inte är tillräckligt för att fastställa någon slutsats. Korrelationen mellan handgreppsstyrkan och båluthållighet indikerar att bättre bålstabilitet associerar med mer generell styrka.
Background: Core stability is necessary to keep balance and enables force to be transmitted through the body. This makes core stability important in everyday chores, sport performance and to reduce risk of injuries. A better understanding of the core stability in different sports can develop athletes training programs, not only to improve the core stability itself, but also to improve overall performance. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the differences in core endurance between young female horseback riders and soccer players, and the core endurance association with hand grip strength and spinal rotation mobility. Methods: The McGill’s core endurance test was used to examine the core endurance between female horseback riders (n = 10) and soccer players (n = 10), age 16-20. The hand grip strength was examined with a hand grip dynamometer and was used to get an indication of overall body strength. The spinal rotation mobility was examined with a Myrin goniometer. Shapiro-Wilks was used to confirm the normality of the data. Independent sample t-test was used to compare core endurance time (sec.) between the horseback riders and the soccer players. The significant level was set at < 0.05. A strength ratio was calculated (kg/kg body weight), and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used for examining the association to core endurance (sec.). Pearson’s correlation coefficient was also used to examine the association between the spinal rotation mobility (°) and core endurance (sec.). High correlations were set at r > (0.7), moderate when r = (0.3- 0.7) and low when r < (0.3). Results: The result showed that horseback riders had better endurance in the trunk extensor test than the soccer players (p = 0.006). Hand grip strength showed moderate correlation with the endurance time of the trunk extensor test (r = 0.631, r² = 0.398), and with the lateral flexor tests (r = 0.411, r² = 0.169; r = 0.615, r² = 0.378). Low correlation was shown with the trunk flexor test (r = 0.197, r² = 0.039). The spinal rotation mobility test showed low correlation with all the core endurance tests (r >0.3). Conclusion: The results indicates few differences between the horseback riders and the soccer players, which is not enough to draw a conclusion. The correlation between hand grip strength and the core endurance tests indicates that a better core stability might be associated to an increased overall body strength.

Abstract:
AbstractMore and more nowadays, the Circular Economy is at the heart of European public policies. As a result of the “Next Generation EU” Recovery Plans, a huge amount of financial resources will be available in the coming years to give shape the concept of “ecological transition". For that purpose, radical vision and operational concreteness are needed.In order to strengthen the territorial dimension of public policies aimed at ecological transition, the paper points to consider the status quo of the European territory, looking for recurring elements and differences. In this perspective, a return of “hard” urban studies, focusing on the issues of land ownership, land parcelling, infrastructural and urbanization procedures (and their relationships with the environment and the landscape) should be conducted at the European scale.A central role for the future of contemporary territories is recognized in the so-called “fringe area”, the part of the urban region where patterns of building development and unbuilt space interwave: its intermediary character, as a place between the compact city and the suburban countryside, makes this zone favourable to the collaboration between the two worlds. In addition, its easy accessibility from both the denser contexts and the outer areas makes it the perfect place to locate the equipment required to create short supply chains, so relevant for the circular economy and the ecological transition.These transition areas need to be rethought as new collective spaces of the contemporary city, areas for the proliferation of biodiversity, inhibited from settlement increase and subject to restrictions on car traffic. In them, the circular dimension of the new green economy could give shape to certain spatial conditions and new landscapes.Two main spatial models can describe this sustainable reform of the peri-urban territories. The first one assumes the figure of the “cluster”: a territorially and functionally defined region with one or more reference centres and an edge marking the discontinuity from other clusters. The second model is based on the figure of the “grid”: an unlimited mesh, which gives measure and organizes space according to a replicable and open system. This spatiality is built on a redundant and weak infrastructure, devoid of hierarchy, which can give rise to a sponge rich in pores, with neither internal nor external boundaries.The concept of the materiality also deals with the physical status of each context where the clusters of shortening flows would define local metabolisms, self-sufficient, marked by the use and recycling of what can be produced or “extracted” in the cluster itself. The closing of short supply chains for the use and recycling of materials, also with reference to the construction cycle and CDW recycling, would have direct consequences on the architectural character of the new arrangements: a kind of hyper-contextualism in which the landscape takes on grains, colours, materiality, closely linked to the local condition.Finally, a reflection on the rationales of the project is outlined. What is proposed, in fact, requires going beyond the traditional way in which the project has been conceived. In fact, these urban reconfiguration processes, structurally open to uncertainty, would take advantage of a programmatic choice of spatial incompleteness: a condition of “unfinished”, open to the accumulation over time of functions, forms, aggregations and densifications.

Abstract:
Abstract When climbers lose their foothold on fixed, straight or extension ladders, the incipient fall may be arrested by gripping either the ladder rungs or siderails. Grasping the rungs provides an interference or power grip; squeezing the siderails provides a friction grip which is the primary focus of this paper. The falling scenario begins with free fall that lasts for the duration of the simple reaction time. Free fall is then decelerated by contravening friction forces derived from hand grip forces rapidly applied to the siderails. Using hand grip/time histories for various individuals, their fall distances were calculated for bare and gloved hands on a vertical steel fixed ladder. Sometimes the candidates could not arrest their falls; often their fall distance was too great to prevent ground impact. Under some circumstances, the vertical motion was brought under timely control. Although a rich literature is available for characterizing grip strength, data reflecting grip/time profiles does not appear. Grip strength/time diagrams were measured for fourteen test subjects.

Abstract:
Hand grip force is an important factor for risk assessment of hand musculoskeletal disorders. Grip strength is also one of the important indices for the diagnosis of hand disorders such as hand-arm vibration syndrome and carpel tunnel syndrome. Therefore, a considerable number of studies on grip force or strength have been reported. However, it remains an important issue how to quantify the grip force or strength. Conventionally, the grip force is measured using a handle that measures the applied force in two opposite directions in the grip action. However, it has been demonstrated that the grip force applied on a cylindrical handle is not uniformly distributed in each orientation of the hand [1]. Therefore, the grip force measured in a specific direction may not be an accurate measure of the grip effort. Alternatively, the total grip force has been proposed to serve as the grip measure [2]. The major objectives of this study are as follows: (i) to develop a cylindrical instrumented handle that can be used to perform the measurement of the total grip force and to characterize its distribution around the handle; (ii) to estimate the principle grip force and direction; and (iii) to investigate the relationship between the total grip force and that measured on a Jamar handle.

Abstract:
Fall-related fatalities and injuries during climbing tasks represent a significant socioeconomic problem whether they occur in children, in the working age population, or in the elderly. The strength of the mechanical coupling between hand and handhold largely determines if a person can support their bodyweight or will lose grip of the handhold, fall and risk injury. It therefore seems prudent to quantify the maximum amount of external force that the coupling between the hand and handhold is capable of withstanding and to determine how handle design properties influence this.
