Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between handgrip strength and cough strength in healthy individuals. Methods: Demographic data were obtained from healthy university students aged 18-25 years. Dominant handgrip strength (kg) was assessed by using a hydraulic hand dynamometer (Jamar) for determining peripheral muscle strength. Cough strength was evaluated by using a portable Pef meter (L/min) by measuring the peak expiratory flow value which was occurred during a cough maneuver following a deep inspiration in sitting position. Three attempts were undertaken and the highest value was recorded for the analysis. As the data not distributed normally, the relationship between the handgrip strength and cough strength was tested by using Spearman correlation analysis and the descriptive statistics were presented median and interquartile ranges. Results: A total of 90 participants (37 female, 53 male) with a median age of 21 years and median body mass index of 22.14 kg/m2 were included in the study. The median grip strength was 46 kg and the median cough strength was found as 537.50 L/dk. A positive, strong, significant relationship (rho=0.750, p<0.001) was found between handgrip strength and peak expiratory flow value during cough maneuver. Conclusion: According to the results that were obtained from this study, the grip strength which is an important indicator of the peripheral muscle strength was found related to cough strength. Future studies, might investigate the utility of grip strength on cough effectiveness in healthy individuals and patients with a respiratory problem.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı bireylerde kavrama kuvveti ile öksürme kuvveti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 18-25 yaş arasındaki sağlıklı üniversite öğrencilerinin demografik bilgileri kaydedildi. Periferal kas kuvvetinin belirlenmesi amacıyla dominant el kavrama kuvveti (kg) hidrolik el dinamometresi (Jamar) kullanılarak ölçüldü. Öksürme kuvveti taşınabilir bir Pefmetre cihazı kullanılarak (L/dk) bireyler derin inspirasyonu takiben öksürme manevrasıyla ulaştıkları pik ekspiratuar akış değerinin ölçülmesiyle oturma pozisyonunda iken değerlendirildi. Her iki kuvvet değeri için üç ölçüm tekrarlanarak en yüksek değer analiz için kaydedildi. Veriler normal dağılmadığından, kavrama kuvveti ile öksürme kuvveti arasındaki ilişki Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılarak test edildi ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler median ve çeyreklerarası aralık olarak gösterildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortanca yaşları 21 yıl ve ortanca beden kütle indeksi 22.14 kg/m2 olan toplam 90 kişi (37 kadın, 53 erkek) alındı. Katılımcıların kavrama kuvveti ortanca değeri 46 kg, öksürme kuvveti değeri ise 537.50 L/dk olarak bulundu. Kavrama kuvveti (rho=0.750, p<0.001) ile öksürme manevrası sırasındaki pik ekspiratuar akış değeri arasında pozitif yönde, güçlü, anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre periferik kas kuvvetinin önemli göstergelerinden biri olan kavrama kuvveti sağlıklı bireylerde öksürme kuvveti ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. İleri çalışmalar, sağlıklı ve solunumsal bir probleme sahip hastalarda öksürme etkinliğinin belirlenmesinde kavrama kuvvetinin kullanımını inceleyebilir.
