Grip and Pinch Strength after Flexor Tendon Repair
屈指肌腱修復後之握力與揑力
摘要
本篇研究目的是利用Jamar握力器與B&L揑力器測量屈指肌腱修復後之握力與揑力表現。五十位病人參與此項研究，其手術後至測量時間平均為18.6個月。結果顯示平均握力為未受傷之手握力的76.4%，拇指與指尖的揑力為未受傷手指揑力之61.5%。此種握力與揑力降低情形發生在合併神經受傷之病人身上尤為明顯。而手指活動度及追時間的長短並非影響握力及揑力的因素。儘管屈指肌腱修復後手部活動能力的恢復一般來說良好，但握力、揑力的降低普遍存在，所以一旦肌腱的癒合良好，手部職能治療宜注意握力與揑力的增強訓練。

The purpose of this study was to quantify the hand strength of patients with flexor tendon repair and to determine the factors that were relate to the decreased strength of the injured hands. Measurements were taken by a Jamar dynamometer and B & L pinch guage on 50 patients, the hand strength was presented as percentage of the, uninjured hand. The average grip strength of injured hands was about 76.4% of the uninjured hands, and strength of tip pinch was 61.5%. The reduction of grip and tip pinch strength was greater in zone 5 injury and had significant differences when compared to zone 2 injury. The combined nerve injury would adversly affect the strength even further than pure tendon injury. The finger mobility by Buck-Gramcko method and the follow-up interval seemed not to be the factors affecting the grip and tip pinch strength of the hand with flexor tendon repair.
