Montreal Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Montreal ladies, this article’s for you (and those who care about you!). Men and women have unlike issues to deal with when it involves their bodies. Naturally! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Montreal chiropractic male and female patients. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic appreciates the differences but highlights in this article a fascinating finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including Montreal back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic marvels at the connections researchers create! Researchers have documented how grip strength is a sign of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia bothers 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely related. Low hand-grip strength indicates anemia. (1) Another issue is that women with low hand-grip strength report poor quality of life insofar as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort aspects. (2) A third hand-grip strength link to health is its capacity to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength decreases; cognition decreases. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic notices these tests interesting for Montreal chiropractic patients and is quite interested in what hand-grip strength says about Montreal back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is made among back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an over-50-year-old woman. Researchers checked the hand-grip strength of women. Each hand was tested with a dynamometer tool. Low hand-grip strength was defined as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand. A highly physical woman was defined as one who performed muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to have low back pain.
