Brief Summary

The main objective of this work is to validate the dynamometer LABIN in comparison with the technique of gold-standard reference JAMAR, in a healthy population. The infringement of the prehension is frequent and impacts on the social and professional quality of life of the patients. There are numerous instruments measuring the strength of prehension. The JAMAR is a mechanical, hydraulic dynamometer, exploring in kilograms the maximal strength of the prehension. It is at present Gold Standard for the measure of the strength of prehension. There is for the moment no electronic known instrument exploring the endurance of the strength of prehension during an effort of tightening. This parameter would indeed be interesting for the exploration in geriatrics and in the neuromuscular pathologies. This study justifies itself by the fact that the dynamometer LABIN should allow the evaluation of the muscular endurance of the strength of hand as complement of the peak of strength

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Measure of the strength of prehension (in Kg).

  measure of the strength of prehension in kilogram by using of the JAMAR ( hydraulic dynamometer), and the LABIN (electronic dynamometer provided with a sensor of pressure).

  at day 1

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• The comfort of the using the dynamometer LABIN

  at day 1

• muscular endurance, estimated by dynamometer LABIN preservation of the strength for the LABIN

  at day 1

Interventions

Dynamometer LABIN DEVICE

LABIN is a prototype of dynamometer containing a handle of metal strength, connected with a sensor of pressure registering(recording) the applied strength and transmitting the data in a computer showing an IT curve of the strength according to time.
