The purpose of this research project was to provide occupational therapists with preliminary descriptive data on the spherical grip strength of 3- to 5 1/2-year-old children using the Martin Vigorimeter. Three hundred and eighty boys and girls were tested. Standardized positioning and instructions were followed. The mean of three trials was used as the grip strength score for each hand. The right and left hands were alternated during testing to allow a 20-second rest between trials. A repeated measures design multiple analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that the mean grip strength scores increased linearly with an increase in age (p less than .001) and that the right grip strength score was greater than the left (p less than .001). The descriptive data were reported separately for the right and left hands by age increments of 6 months. Two tables of mean grip strength scores and their standard deviations were generated for clinical use.
本研究项目的目的是使用马丁握力计为职业治疗师提供3至5岁半儿童球形握力的初步描述性数据。对380名男孩和女孩进行了测试。遵循标准化的姿势和指导说明。将三次测试的平均值用作每只手的握力得分。测试过程中左右手交替进行，以便在两次测试之间有20秒的休息时间。使用重复测量设计的多因素方差分析来分析数据。研究结果表明，平均握力得分随年龄增长呈线性增加（p <.001），且右手握力得分高于左手（p <.001）。按6个月的年龄增量分别报告了右手和左手的描述性数据。生成了两张平均握力得分及其标准差的表格以供临床使用。
