Clinical Trial Summary
Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer, is a high cost and manual device that is commonly used for
the evaluation of the hand grip strength (HGS) with validity and reliability. Nowadays it is
thought that usage of the digital and automatic calibration dynamometers, such as Camry,
would be more appropriate in the evaluation of the HGS.
This research is a cross-sectional study using the random crossover method. Purpose of the
study is comparing the outcome measures of the Camry and Jamar dynamometers in healthy adult
individuals and investigating the realiability and validity of the Camry usage.
Healthy adult male and female individuals aged 18 and over will be included in the study on a
voluntary basis. Power analysis was performed to determine the number of people to be
included in the study. The power of the test was calculated with the G*Power 3.1 program and
was determined as 60 participants. Inclusion criteria of the study; Healthy adults aged 18
and over, individuals who do not have any restrictions in upper extremity functions and do
not have cognitive and/or psychological problems will be included. Individuals under 18 years
of age, using an assistive device, having an autoimmune disorder, pregnant individuals, and
individuals with a history of hospitalization for more than three days in the last six months
will not be included in the study.
Description:
Evaluation and Measurements Evaluations and measurements will be made by the same researchers
as stated below. The aim of the measurements to be made is to compare the Camry and Jamar
dynamometers in evaluating grip strength.
1. Patient Information and Evaluation Form 2. Camry Electronic Hand Grip Dynamometer -
Measurement of Grip Force 3. Jamar Hydraulic Hand Grip Dynamometer - Measurement of Grip
Force The evaluations to be applied to the participants included in the study will be
recorded instantly. Each individual's grip strength will be measured with two different
dynamometers (Camry Electronic and Jamar Hydraulic Hand Grip Dynamometer). Evaluations will
be made bilaterally (right and left) in the upper extremity, and there will be a one-minute
rest period between each repeat measurement.
1. Participant Information and Evaluation Form: This is an evaluation form that includes
the patient's demographic information such as name, surname, age, gender, weight,
height, body mass index and dominant upper extremity side information.
2. Camry Electronic Hand Grip Dynamometer - Measurement of Grip Strength: In the evaluation
to be made with the Camry Electronic Hand Grip Dynamometer; Three different measurements
will be made on bilateral upper extremities (right and left). The average of three
different evaluated measurements will be taken and recorded. There will be a one-minute
rest period between each repeat measurement. In the evaluations to be made, the
individual's posture; feet in a comfortable position at shoulder-width distance,
shoulders in neutral rotation-vertical adduction, elbow joint in 90° flexion and forearm
in neutral position, wrist in 0°-30° extension and 0° to 15° ulnar deviation. After the
individual's posture is established, individuals will be asked to make maximum grasping
movements.
Jamar Hydraulic Hand Grip Dynamometer - Measurement of Grip Strength: In the evaluation to be
made with the Jamar Hydraulic Hand Grip Dynamometer; Three different measurements will be
made on bilateral upper extremities (right and left). The average of three different
evaluated measurements will be taken and recorded. There will be a one-minute rest period
between each repeat measurement. In the evaluations to be made, the individual's posture;
feet in a comfortable position at shoulder-width distance, shoulders in neutral
rotation-vertical adduction, elbow joint in 90° flexion and forearm in neutral position,
wrist in 0°-30° extension and 0° to 15° ulnar deviation. After the individual's posture is
established, individuals will be asked to make maximum grasping movements.
