Manchester Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Manchester ladies, this article’s for you (and those who care about you!). Men and women have unlike issues to deal with when it comes to their bodies. Naturally! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Manchester chiropractic male and female patients. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries grasps the differences but focuses on an interesting finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including Manchester back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries marvels at the connections researchers make! Researchers have verified how grip strength is an indicator of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia bothers 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely associated. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another matter is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor quality of life insofar as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort aspects. (2) A third hand-grip strength link to health is its ability to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength decreases; cognition decreases. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries finds these tests interesting for Manchester chiropractic patients and is very drawn to what hand-grip strength says about Manchester back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is crafted among back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an over-50-year-old woman. Researchers checked the hand-grip strength of women. Each hand was tested with a dynamometer tool. Low hand-grip strength was classified as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand. A highly physical woman was defined as one who performed muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more likely to have low back pain.
