Comparison between two different handgrip systems and protocols on force reduction in handgrip assessment Universiteit Antwerpen
INTRODUCTIONFatigue resistance (FR) can be assessed as the time during which grip strength (GS) drops to 50% of its maximum during a sustained maximal voluntary contraction. For the first time we compared force-time characteristics during FR test between two different handgrip systems, and investigated age- and clinical-related differences in order to verify if a briefer test protocol (i.e. until 75%) could be sufficiently informative.
