Bilateral differences of normal hand strength.
The normal grip strength, pinch strength and key strength was determined by specially designed dynamometers in 30 females and 30 males aged 22-68 years. No significant difference was found between the strength patterns of the dominant and non-dominant hand. It is concluded that in the evaluation of hand strength under pathological conditions, the strength of the other hand should be a useful parameter.
