About

The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the relationships between grip/pinch strengths, wrist flexion-extension strengths, wrist proprioception, manual dexterity, and bimanual coordination in healthy volunteers. The hypotheses are:

H0: There is no relationship between grip/pinch strengths, wrist flexion-extension strengths, wrist proprioception, manual dexterity, and bimanual coordination.

H1: There is a relationship between grip/pinch strengths, wrist flexion-extension strengths, wrist proprioception, manual dexterity, and bimanual coordination.

Within the scope of the study, the participants' active joint position sense (AJPS) and flexion-extension strengths of the wrist were assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer. Additionally, grip strength, key pinch, tip pinch, and palmar pinch strengths were evaluated using a dynamometer. The Purdue Pegboard Test was used to assess manual dexterity and bimanual coordination.
