Abstract

Aim: To evaluate changes in handgrip strength during different tasks. Materials and Methods: A total of 125 volunteers participated. Handgrip strength was assessed using a hand dynamometer under six different conditions. Results: Female participants showed a tendency to increase grip strength as balance difficulty increased, however, the addition of cognitive tasks led to a decrease (p<0.05). In male participants, no changes were observed during balance tasks (p>0.05), but similar to females, grip strength decreased with the addition of cognitive tasks (p<0.05). Conclusion: Preventing the decrease in grip strength during cognitive tasks in both genders, and preventing the increase in grip strength during additional balance tasks in women, are considered to be effective in reducing the risk of injuries and workplace accidents.

Özet

Amaç: Farklı görevler sırasında el kavrama kuvvetindeki değişiklikleri değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 125 gönüllü katıldı. El kavrama kuvveti el dinamometresi ile 6 farklı koşul altında değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Kadın gönüllülerin motor görevler arasında denge zorluğu arttıkça kavrama kuvvetlerini artırma eğilimi gösterdikleri, bu görevlere kognitif görevler eklendiğinde ise kavrama kuvvetinin azalma eğiliminde olduğu (p<0,05); erkek gönüllülerde denge görevleri sırasında kavrama kuvvetinde değişiklik olmadığı (p>0,05) kognitif görevler eklendiğinde ise kadınlara benzer olarak kavrama kuvvetinin azaldığı (p<0,05) belirlendi. Sonuç: Kognitif görevler sırasında her iki cinsiyette kavrama kuvvetinin sürdürülmesi ve kadınlarda denge düzenlerindeki ek görevlerde kavrama kuvvetini artırmamalarının sağlanmasının yaralanma riskleri ve iş kazalarının önlenmesinde etkili olacağı düşünülmektedir.
