Title: | Clinical measures of handgrip limitation relate to impaired pinch grip force control after stroke. | Austin Authors: | Blennerhassett, Jannette M ;Carey, Leeanne M ;Matyas, Thomas A | Affiliation: | Department of Physiotherapy, Austin Health, Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre, Austin Health, Kew, Victoria, Australia | Issue Date: | 9-Jul-2008 | Publication information: | Journal of Hand Therapy : Official Journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists; 21(3): 245-52; quiz 253 | Abstract: | This study examined whether clinical measures of handgrip limitation relate to laboratory measures of grip force impairment during a pinch grip, lift, and hold task post-stroke. Handgrip ability in 45 people with stroke who had residual grip ability was examined relative to 45 age-matched healthy adults. The clinical tests included items from a) the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test; b) the Motor Assessment Scale; c) the Functional Independence Measure (FIM); and d) a custom-designed survey about hand-use in daily life. The laboratory test was summarized by principal components: 1) Pre-Lift Delay and 2) Grip Force Dyscontrol. For the stroke group, a moderate to strong correlation was found between Pre-Lift Delay and each clinical measure of handgrip limitation (rs=0.70-0.85) except the FIM (rs=0.38-0.49). In contrast, Grip Force Dyscontrol was not associated with handgrip limitation on any of the clinical tests (rs=-0.08 to 0.18). | Gov't Doc #: | 18652969 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/10647 | DOI: | 10.1197/j.jht.2007.10.021 | Journal: | Journal of hand therapy : official journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18652969 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Activities of Daily Living Adult Aged Aged, 80 and over Case-Control Studies Disability Evaluation Female Hand Strength.physiology Humans Male Middle Aged Motor Skills.physiology Pinch Strength.physiology Principal Component Analysis Stroke.physiopathology |
