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.
