摘要: This study was designed to determine the effect of testing posture and elbow position on grip strength. A hand dynamometer used measure strength 61 subjects (26 female 35 male) in four positions: (1) sitting with 90 degree flexion, (2) full extension, (3) standing (4) extension. The experimental conditions were randomized, standardized instructions followed. two-factor (gender treatment) repeated measures ANOVA any significant difference between sexes (treatment) conditions. result revealed a F-ratio for gender treatment main effects. Scheffe post hoc analysis that males had higher (p less than .01) females at all postures joint angles, there .05) measured flexion findings suggest need clinicians maintain standard while measuring
