Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to find out whether there exists a correlation between such important characteristic of individual's hand performance as grip strength, pinch strength, and the hand reaction. In addition, it will be investigated whether there is a change in normative values of this age group in relation to modern lifestyle. The study includes statistical data analysis and interpretation of the derived outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hand grip strength

  The participants will sit upright on a chair with their feet supported. The tested arm will positioned on a table with the shoulders slightly abducted and neutrally rotated, the elbow in 90° of flexion, the forearm in 0° between pronation and supination, and the wrist in neutral resting position. The grip strength of both hands will measured using the Hand Dynamometer. Results will be evaluated in kilograms.

  Measurements will assessed in 1 month and data will analysed in 2 months.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Hand Pinch Strength

  Measurements will assessed in 1 month and data will analysed in 2 months.

• Ruler Drop Test

  Measurements will assessed in 1 month and data will analysed in 2 months.

Hand strength

EXPERIMENTAL

Grip Strength The participants sat upright on a chair with their feet supported. The tested arm was positioned on a table with the shoulders slightly abducted and neutrally rotated, the elbow in 90° of flexion, the forearm in 0° between pronation and supination, and the wrist in neutral resting position. The participants were instructed to maintain that position during the test. The grip strength of both hands was measured using the Hand Dynamometer 3\. Pinch Strength Participants were seated at a table on which the dynamometers were positioned. The subjects were told to keep their elbow flexed without resting their arm or the grip handle of the dynamometer.

Other: Assessing grasping force, pinch force,
