Abstract

 

 

The hand is the most important segment of the human body and the evolutionary pinnacle of human development. The preserved function of the hand is essential for the quality of life of the individual in everyday activities. The very importance of the hand is proven by the fact that the loss of function of the thumb leads to 40-50% damage to the upper limb, as a result of its central role in all grips and manipulative movements. Grips are divided to strong (oblique palm grip, ball grip, arched and cylindrical grip) and precise (pincer pinch, tip pinch, key pinch, palmar pinch). Reduced strength of a hand grip is a significant predictor of disability and reduction in the quality of life, and it is of great importance to establish norms and instruments to be used in hand grip strength measurements. Dynamometers are used to establish gross muscle strength and precise grips strength. Many works have been published regarding measurement of hand grip and precise grips, but there is still no uniform protocol for this. Besides the fact that the values obtained may assess the nutritional status of an individual, they are very important in early diagnosis, timely therapy and evaluation in clinical practice.

 

Key words:

hand; grip; dynamometer

 

 

 

Sažetak

 

Šaka predstavlja najznačajniji segment ljudskog tela i evolucioni vrhunac razvoja čoveka. U svakodnevnim aktivnostima, očuvana funkcija šake održava kvalitet života pojedinca. Sam značaj šake dokazuje činjenica da gubitak funkcije palca šake dovodi do 40-50% oštećenja gornjeg ekstremiteta, kao rezultata njegove centralne uloge u svim hvatovima i manipu lativnim pokretima. Hvatovi se dele na snažne (kosi dlanski, hvat lopte, lučni i cilindrični hvat) i precizne (pincet, trokraki, štipaljka i ključ hvat). Smanjena snaga stiska šake predstavlja značajan prediktor onesposobljenosti i smanjenja kvaliteta života ljudi, te je od velikog značaja utvrditi norme i instrumente na osnovu kojih se mogu vršiti merenja snage stiska šake. Za dijagnozu grube mišićne snage i snage preciznih hvatova koriste se dinamometri. Objavljeni su mnogi radovi o merenju stiska šake i preciznih hvatova, ali još uvek nema jedinstvenog protokola. Pored toga što dobijene vrednosti mogu proceniti nutritivni status pojedinca, veoma su bitne u ranoj dijagnostici, pravovremenoj terapiji i evaluaciji u kliničkoj praksi.
