ABSTRACT

Introduction: The biomechanical characterization of grip involves the determination of the different kinematic and dynamic variables that affect its different phases: transport, grip formation and manipulation, as well as its relationship with the anthropometric characteristics of the subject and those of the object. The contact force in the fingers during the making of bidigital or multi-digital grips but involving only the use of distal phalanges (grip type clamp) and cylindrical power grip are among the most used for daily activities. Hand grip force measurement is an essential element for follow-up during growth, injury, rehabilitation and therapeutic trials. Material and methods: Descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study with 61 patients without upper extremity pathology, 30 male, 31 female, with age range of 20 to 59 years, anthropometric measurements and Force test (kg/strength) were performed. The variables were statistically analyzed with Pearson's "r" and Mann-Whitney's U. Results: The hand grip and clamp 1 Force of the dominant hand as non-dominant is correlated with weight, size, body fat percentage and wrist circumference, HGF and clamp 1 in both the dominant and non-dominant hand is higher in men than in women, with p < 0.05. Conclusions: The average HGF of the dominant hand is higher than in the non-dominant for men and women. This is related to weight, size, body fat percentage and wrist circumference.
