Abstract

Hand grip strength is always consider as an overall indicator of physical strength, muscle performance, functional index of nutritional status, bone mineral content, functional integrity of upper extremity of hand and forearm musculature. It is judged as one of the major reliable tool used in clinical setting for estimating hand-grip strength. As a physiological variable it can be influenced by a number of factors such as age, gender, height, weight and various anthropometric traits.
