The Prevalence of Hand Joint Hypermobility and Its Relationship With Grip Strength Among University Students.

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Hand Joint Hypermobility, Grip Strength

In brief

This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of hand joint hypermobility among 400 university students and its relationship with hand grip strength. MCP joint mobility was assessed using a universal goniometer, and grip strength was measured with a hand dynamometer. Participants were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe hypermobility groups.
