Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xExZsS. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Assessments of oedema and decrease in hand strength are useful for patients with a hand lesion. This study examined the asymmetry of the arms and determined the estimates of the unknown prior to lesion values for hand volume, grip strengths assessed with a Jamar dynamometer (GSj) and a Collins dynamometer (GSc), and pinch strength with a Jamar pinch gauge (PS) in 100 healthy working people. Hand volume, GSj, GSc., and PS of the dominant hand were respectively 3.6 4.1%, 6.6 9.2%, 11.7 11.2%, and 8.0 13.2% higher than those of the non-dominant hand (p |
