Establishing normative pinch and grip strengths across adult age groups in Singapore
Our data align with past results, but the normative values are comparatively lower than the consolidated Western norms. Compared to the non-dominant hand, the strength of the dominant hand is significantly higher. No statistical difference between the right- and left-handed participants in terms of dominant HGS and dominant LPS. The results can be valuable for researchers and healthcare providers working with young and older adults.
