Largo Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!

January 15, 2019

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.
