Força de preensão palmar e pinças em indivíduos sadios entre 6 e 19 anos

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine and compare the values of maximum isometric palmar grip and pinch forces in healthy children between 6 and 19 years old using dynamometry, considering gender, dominance and age. Methods: 199 subjects were evaluated using Jamar® dynamometer to measure palmar grip strength and Preston Pinch Gauge® dynamometer to evaluate pulp to pulp, lateral and three points pinch strength in a standardization testing protocol. The mean of three consecutive grip tests was recorded. Linear regression with mixed effects was used to statistically analyze the differences between data. Results: Mean values found for palmar grip, pulp to pulp, three points and lateral pinch were 24,51kgf, 3,64kgf, 5,37kgf and 6,78kgf, respectively, regardless of the variables. There was statistical difference in all measures by gender and dominance, and the dominant hand and the males had higher grip forces. It was verified that mean values varied with age, with significant difference in most of comparisons between the age groups. Conclusion: We concluded that pinch and palmar grip strength demonstrated significant differences in gender, dominance and in most of age subgroups studied, being important to consider them on dynamometry. This study was relevant as reference of normality of hand strength in children and adolescents.

Clinical experience with arthroscopically-assisted repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears in adolescents—technique and results

“…Nevertheless, we decided to include cases with concomitant pathologies as they are generally very common and reflect the average adolescent patient presenting with an injury-related TFCC pathology. The observed mean grip strength measurements (mean 28 kg) were comparable to reference data reported for paediatric and adolescent age cohorts [23]. However, the minor lack of grip strength and the lower ability to participate in sports (mean DASH score 33) can be explained by a very short follow-up of three months in a few cases, as well as by-at least in our experience-oftentimes lower compliance of teenagers with regards to postoperative sports reduction.…”

Avaliação Do Torque De Preensão Palmar E Medidas Antropométricas: Correlação Entre Dinamômetro Analógico Manual E Sensor De Foçar Digital

“…Os valores encontrados na avaliação do TPP são influenciados por diversos fatores, entre eles o sexo, idade, nível de atividade física e até mesmo a motivação na hora da avaliação [11,12]. Em concordância com achados da literatura, nossos resultados documentaram uma diferença no TPP entre os gêneros, sendo esta maior nos homens [11].…”

Análise comparativa da força, potência e fadiga muscular de crianças e adolescentes saudáveis e com mielomeningocele

“…A análise estatística indicou diferença entre os lados dominante e não-dominante, estando de acordo com os relatos da literatura para indivíduos saudáveis (FERREIRA et al, 2011;SOUZA et al, 2014).…”
