The aim of this study was to develop and assess an isometric hand tester to measure multiple strength parameters of the muscles of the hand. Nineteen men and 22 women took part in a first study and 17 men were tested in a second one. Five different tests were developed: wrist flexion, wrist extension, metacarpophalangeal joint flexion, thumb adduction and proximal and distal interphalangeal joint flexion. Reliability was tested with an intraclass correlation coefficient for single measures. When the results from men and women were analysed separately, all tests except metacarpophalangeal joint flexion and thumb adduction produced intraclass correlation coefficients greater than 0.7. Combining the genders gave intraclass correlation coefficients greater than 0.9 except for metacarpophalangeal joint flexion and thumb adduction. After adjustments, intraclass correlation coefficients for metacarpophalangeal joint flexion and thumb adduction were between 0.70 and 0.83 in the second study. The new isometric hand tests improve the measurement of intrinsic and extrinsic hand muscle strength.
本研究的目的是开发并评估一种等长手部测试仪，以测量手部肌肉的多个力量参数。19名男性和22名女性参与了第一项研究，17名男性参与了第二项研究。开发了五项不同的测试：腕关节屈曲、腕关节伸展、掌指关节屈曲、拇指内收以及近端和远端指间关节屈曲。使用单测量组内相关系数测试可靠性。当分别分析男性和女性的结果时，除掌指关节屈曲和拇指内收外，所有测试的组内相关系数均大于0.7。合并性别后，除掌指关节屈曲和拇指内收外，组内相关系数大于0.9。调整后，第二项研究中掌指关节屈曲和拇指内收的组内相关系数在0.70至0.83之间。新的等长手部测试改进了对手部内在和外在肌肉力量的测量。
