This study looks at how flexible (hypermobile) hand joints are in university students and whether that flexibility is linked to how strong their grip is. It may help understand normal joint variations in healthy young adults.
This study looks at how strong children's arms and hands are and how quickly they get tired during everyday activities. It helps doctors understand normal development in typically developing children.
This study measures leg muscle strength in healthy children ages 5 to 16 to better understand normal development. If your child is developing typically and can follow instructions, they may be able to join.
This study measures how reliably a healthy young adult can sense their own grip force. It helps researchers understand how to assess hand proprioception, or your hand's ability to know its position and effort.
This study checks how hand grip strength changes when you hold your shoulder in different positions. It helps understand normal strength patterns in older adults, which can guide future treatments.
This study looks at how shoulder strength is related to hand grip strength in university teachers who do overhead work. It aims to help understand normal muscle function, which could guide future prevention of shoulder and hand issues.
