Article Synopsis
- The study compared fatigue resistance (FR) during grip strength tests using two different handgrip systems and explored how age and clinical status affect results.
- A range of participants, including young healthy individuals, middle-aged, older adults, and hospitalized geriatric patients, underwent the FR test, which measured how long grip strength could be sustained before declining to half its maximum.
- Results indicated that there were significant associations in force-time data between grip strength measured during full and reduced test durations, as well as notable differences in performance based on age group, particularly in the initial strength decay.
Background: Fatigue resistance (FR) was here defined as the time during which grip strength (GS) drops to 50% of its maximum during sustained contraction. Since different GS systems exist, we compared FR obtained with Pneumatic (Pneu) and Hydraulic (Hydr) handgrip systems. Hand pain induced by both systems was also investigated since this might influence FR-outcomes.
