Largo Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Largo ladies, this article’s for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have unlike issues to contend with when it involves their bodies. Of course! Hollstrom & Associates Inc is very familiar with these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Largo chiropractic male and female patients. Hollstrom & Associates Inc appreciates the differences but focuses on a fascinating finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including Largo back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Hollstrom & Associates Inc marvels at the connections researchers make! Researchers have verified how grip strength is a sign of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia bothers 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely connected. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another matter is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor quality of life as it concerns mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort dimensions. (2) A third hand-grip strength link to health is its ability to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength decreases; cognition declines. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc notices these tests interesting for Largo chiropractic patients and is really drawn to what hand-grip strength reveals about Largo back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is crafted among back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an over-50-year-old woman. Researchers checked the hand-grip strength of women. Each hand was tested with a dynamometer tool. Low hand-grip strength was classified as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand. A highly physical woman was defined as one who did muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to experience low back pain.
