This study investigated grip strength performance in normal Chinese adults. Grip strength of 160 Chinese subjects (80 males and 80 females) from a major metropolitan city in southern Taiwan was measured with a newly calibrated Jamar dynamometer. The subject was tested in a standing position, with shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow flexed at 90 degrees and forearm and wrist in neutral position. Subjects exerted one maximal effort with both right and left hands. Results indicate that the grip strength of Chinese males peaked within the 20 to 39 year-old group. For Chinese females, the highest grip strength score occurred in the 40 to 49 year-old age group and declined as a function of age. Males consistently had higher grip strength than females across age ranges. Finally, there was no 10% variance in grip strength from the dominant to nondominant hand for each age group of both sexes. Instead, there were 49 (31%) of all subjects who had nondominant hand strength scores that were equal to or greater than their dominant hand strength scores. Clinical implications and recommendations for future research are suggested.
本研究调查了中国正常成年人的握力表现。使用新校准的Jamar握力计测量了来自台湾南部一个主要大城市的160名中国受试者（80名男性和80名女性）的握力。受试者站立测试，肩部内收并中立旋转，肘部屈曲90度，前臂和手腕处于中立位置。受试者用右手和左手各进行一次最大用力。结果表明，中国男性的握力在20至39岁组达到峰值。对于中国女性，最高握力得分出现在40至49岁年龄组，并随年龄增长而下降。在各个年龄范围内，男性的握力始终高于女性。最后，两性各年龄组中，优势手与非优势手的握力差异均未达到10%。相反，所有受试者中有49人（31%）的非优势手握力得分等于或高于其优势手握力得分。文中提出了临床意义及对未来研究的建议。
