Abstract
The grip pressures of a normal population were determined using a 900mmHg column. Men were stronger than women. The dominant hand was the stronger and the difference between the dominant and nondominant hand pressures was less than 10% in both sexes. One determination of grip pressure is adequate for clinical purposes. Much information is lost if the standard 300mm mercury or aneroid sphygmomanometers are used.Keywords
