Brief Summary

This study has developed a peripheral to quantify the functional strength of children without motor change during the movement of grip and pinch. It was possible to know the exact values of these strengths, the range of motion that was made, and also if the grip strength was maintained during all the arc of motion.

Conditions

Hand Strength

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Force

  The force of cylindrical grip movement was measured through a door handle device, pinch pulp-side through a door key and pinch pulp-pulp movement through a switch. The test was measured 3 times with 1 minute interval and it was measured the strength during all arc of motion. Unit of measurement: Newton (N).

  15 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• range of motion in angle

  15 minutes

• range of motion in percentage

  15 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Hand strength

EXPERIMENTAL

Volunteers without motor abnormalities. The tests were performed in a single session lasting 30 minutes, when volunteers used the door handle device, the linear switch device, and the door key device, in order to quantify the hand strength.

Device: Door handle device; Device: Linear switch device; Device: Door key device

Interventions

Door handle device DEVICE

To evaluate the cylindrical grip movement, it was used a door handle, which evaluated all the strength at the arc of motion

Hand strength

Linear switch device DEVICE

To evaluate the pulp-pulp pinch movement, it was used one linear switch, which evaluated all the strength at the motion displacement.

Hand strength

Door key device DEVICE

To evaluate the pulp-side pinch movement, it was used a door key, which evaluated all the strength at the arc of motion
