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.

Detailed Description

Objective: To investigate correlation between grip force, pinch strength and hand reaction in a group of post-millennial in Central Anatolia, and also to provide a comparison to previously available results on millennial.

Methods: Experimental data were collected by healthy subjects, who are university students. The sample comprises females and males, consented to participate in the study. The ages of the subjects will range from 18 to 25 years. Grip strength will measure with hand dynamometer and pinch strength will measure with pinch meter. Hand reaction will test with the Ruler Drop Test.

For each subject, body mass, height and hand preference will be record. The study will be completed in accordance with the norms of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Atilim (Turkey).

The collected data will be undergone statistical analysis to extract any feasible conclusions. First, the correlation coefficients will be found to determine whether there is a noticable relationship between the independent variables grip strength and pinch strength versus the dependent variable ruler drop test. The calculated sample correlation coefficients have been tested for the significance.

Study Groups

Hand strength

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.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL
