Aim The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of three commonly used positions
on grip strength measurement in older people. Method A total of 249 (113 women, 136 men) …

The handgrip strength is considered an excellent predictor of morbidity and mortality for
acute and long term outcomes. In fact, several studies showed that the reduced handgrip …

The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between handgrip strength and
the incidence of work limitations in European adults aged 50 and older. We conducted a …

Background Handgrip strength is used to identify sarcopenia and frailty phenotypes, being a
potential predictor of mortality in older adults. However, uniformity is lacking in the reference …

Background Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important health biomarker whose low scores
have been shown to be associated with the morbimortality. This study aimed to analyze the …

different measurement protocols for handgrip strength (HGS). We aimed to explore (1) …

Background Clinicians have increasing access to longitudinal data on hand grip strength
(HGS), often measured for frailty or sarcopenia assessment, of their older clients. Evidence …

Introduction Maximum grip strength (MGS) is a reliable biomarker of overall health and
physiological well-being. Therefore, an accurate and reliable measurement device is vital for …
