Performance of Normal Chinese Adults on Grip Stremgth Test: A Preliminary Study

本篇主要在調查中國成年人的握力。160名（男女各80名）來自台灣南部某大都市之正常成年人（年齡為20-69歲）接受握力測試。受測者站著肩膀保持自然下垂，內收貼身，肘部屈曲90度，前臂和腕關節保持不偏的姿勢下，記錄每位受測者慣用手與非慣用手各施一次的最大握力。結果顯示，在男性方面最高的握力值發生於20-39歲組；而女性則在40-49歲組之問。隨著年齡越大握力值越低。男性的握力值均比女性高；在不同的年齡層或性別，每位受測者的慣用手與非慣用手的握力值差異均不超過10 %；不過，有31％的受測者他（她）們的非慣用手的握力值均不小於慣用手。在復健的評估與治療，這些發現可供臨床的運用和參考。

This study investigated grip strength performance in normal Chinese adults. Grip strength of 160 Chinese subjects (80 males and 80 females) from a major metropolitan city in southern Taiwan was measured with a newly calibrated Jamar dynamometer. The subject was tested in a standing position, with shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow flexed at 90 and forearm and wrist in neutral position. Subjects exerted one maximal effort with both right and left hands. Results indicate that the grip strength of Chinese males peaked within the 20 to 39 year-old group. For Chinese females, the highest grip strength score occurred in the 40 to 49 year-old age group and declined as a function of age. Males consistently had higher grip strength than females across age ranges. Finally, there was no 10% variance in grip strength from the dominant to non- dominant hand for each age group of both sexes. Instead, there were 49 (31%) of all subjects who had nondominant hand strength scores that were equal to or greater than their dominant .hand strength scores. Clinical implications and recommendations for future research are suggested.
