Grip strength varies by shoulder angle, study in elderly finds
NCT ID NCT07562854
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how hand grip strength changes when the shoulder is in different positions in people aged 65 and older. Researchers will measure grip strength in four shoulder positions using a hand dynamometer. The goal is to understand if position matters for accurate strength testing, which could improve assessments in older adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

- If successful, this could help doctors better assess muscle strength in elderly patients by accounting for shoulder position.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults.
