“…(33) Gender has a great impact on the HGS. Males have a better grip strength on average than females.7 In the present study, males had strong grip strength as compared to the females, confirming the previous studies done by Abdalla Alrashdan, et all (24), Hirokazu Inoue, et all (31), Xuemei Lu, et all (32), Xabier Río, et all (34) and Ukachukwu Okoroafor Abaraogu, et all (25) whom results were similar to the current study's results. The current study also concluded that the grip strength of dominant hand was stronger than the non-dominant hand, confirming the previous study done by Luciana Zaccagni, Stefania Toselli, et all which concluded that the HGS of the dominant hand was noticeably higher than that of the non-dominant hand in both sexes.…”

Background: The strength of one's grip is a good determining factor of their overall muscularity. Grip strength can be utilized in a variety of circumstances to assess and monitor a variety of health-related conditions. Objective: To evaluate the association of hand grip strength with BMI in cardiovascular disease patients. Methodology: An analytical cross sectional study was done on a population basis. A total of 256 patients of cardiovascular diseases were included in this study. Data were collected through purposive sampling technique. A proforma used to get demographic data including name, age, height, weight and occupation. Their BMI was also calculated. Hand grip strength was measured through handheld dynamometer of both hands. Three trials were performed by the patients from both hands. Results: Out of 256 total participants, 133 (52%) were males and 123 (48%) were females. Their mean age was 51.12 (SD = 12.513) and mean BMI was 26.533 (SD = 5.1012). Hand grip strength (HGS) and body mass index (BMI) had a negative and statistically significant association, for dominant hand (pearson’s r = -0.309, p = 0) and for non-dominant hand (pearson’s r = -0.308, p = 0). Mean hand grip strength of dominant hand was 24.677 (SD = 9.0567) and of non-dminant hand was 21.861 (SD = 8.8035). Age and duration of diseases also had a negative and statistically significant association with the hand grip strength of both hands of the patients with p value 0. Conclusion: It was concluded that the BMI had a great impact on HGS. Presence of CVD and the duration of this disease also affect HGS. With increasing age and obesity hand grip strength decreases. Keywords: Body mass index, Hand grip strength, Cardiovascular diseases.

“…The Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products has qualified CAMRY dynamometer as medical equipment. 12 Several studies have used CAMRY dynamometer to measure the GS for acquiring GS values. [13][14][15][16][17][18] A study conducted by Liu et al compared the GS values reported by the Camry dynamometer with the Jian Ming grip strength dynamometer to test the reliability of the equipment.…”

Grip strength (GS) of the human hand is vital to deal with objects of various sizes and shapes in daily life. The strength deteriorates if one or more digits of the hand are amputated. The main aim of this study was to determine the influence of single-digit exclusions on the GS. Healthy adults ( n = 102, male) with an age range of 20 to 70 years (mean ± SD, 31.92 ± 13.14 years) participated in the study. The movements of unused digits were restrained using splints to avoid digit enslaving effects. T (Thumb), (I) Index, M (Middle), R (Ring), L (Little) digits were chosen for exclusion based on the digit configurations. The digit configurations were IMRL, MRLT, IMRT IRLT and, IMLT with exclusions T, I, L, M, and, R respectively. The results of two-way ANOVA with repeated measures showed no significant interaction ( p = 0.923) between hand dominance and digit configurations. But statistical significance ( p = 0.000) was observed in digit configurations and hand dominance individually. The results of posthoc analysis using Bonferroni corrected pairwise comparisons showed no statistical significance ( p = 0.004) between IRLT and IMLT of both hands since the corrected p-value was 0.003. The outcomes of the F-test showed no statistical significance ( p > 0.05) between the digit configurations IMRLT, IMRL; IMRL, MRLT; MRLT, IMRT; IRLT, IMLT individually within dominant (D) and non-dominant (ND) hands. When the F-test was performed using the same digit configurations between both hands, statistical significance was not observed in all the configurations except IMLT ( p < 0.05). The results of the Pearson correlation of GS were observed to be very strong between the same digit configurations of D and ND hands.

“…The MGS is recommended in clinical practice and primary care because of its ease of use in the diagnosis of sarcopenic patients [35][36][37]. MGS is one of the tests used as a predictor of low skeletal muscle strength in the diagnosis of sarcopenia [38] and frailty [39], as it is directly correlated with other body regions [40].…”

This study is focused on the fact that in the context of increasing global aging and cancer diagnoses, additional challenges arise in clinical care. Adequate functionality and body composition are key to coping with antineoplastic treatment, which can lead to better treatment tolerance, survival, and quality of life. This is a cross-sectional comparative study focused on the assessment and comparison of body composition and functionality between cancer patients and a reference population, with the aim of establishing meaningful baseline values. Techniques such as manual dynamometry, the Five-Times Sit-to-Stand test, and bioimpedance were used to collect data from 374 oncologic patients and 1244 reference individuals. The results reveal significant disparities in functionality and body composition among participants, and provide age group-specific adjusted baseline values for those diagnosed with cancer. These findings may have crucial clinical implications for applying particular cut-off points designed for this population group, which makes the assessment process faster and more accurate, enhances the capacity of medical personnel to act quickly, and improves the management of frailty in cancer patients.
