Resumo: | The evaluation of hand grip strength (HGS) is commonly used, especially in physiotherapy and sports. The establishment of reference values has been the focus of some studies, but the different instruments and protocols used impair generalization of the results. Moreover, several factors influence HGS, such as gender, age, dominance, time of assessment, body position, sincerity of effort, anthropometric characteristics, and grip span. The objective of this study was to review the current state of the art regarding HGS measures and some aspects related to their interpretation. According to the literature, the use of a dynamometer that allows the construction of force vs. time curves and the continuous adjustment of grip span according to hand dimensions seems to be essential for the evaluation of HGS. Additional recommenda-tions are the standardization of the time of evaluation, assessment of both hands, a minimum number of three trials for each hand, adoption of a standard body position, use of verbal and/or visual encouragement, and the correction of muscle strength according to body weight. The standardization of evaluation methods and interpretation of the results permits the establishment of reliable and universally accepted reference values of HGS. |

Hand grip strength: evaluation methods and factors influencing this measureForça de preensão palmar: métodos de avaliação e fatores que influenciam a medidaThe evaluation of hand grip strength (HGS) is commonly used, especially in physiotherapy and sports. The establishment of reference values has been the focus of some studies, but the different instruments and protocols used impair generalization of the results. Moreover, several factors influence HGS, such as gender, age, dominance, time of assessment, body position, sincerity of effort, anthropometric characteristics, and grip span.

According to the literature, the use of a dynamometer that allows the construction of force vs. time curves and the continuous adjustment of grip span according to hand dimensions seems to be essential for the evaluation of HGS.

The standardization of evaluation methods and interpretation of the results permits the establishment of reliable and universally accepted reference values of HGS.A avaliação da força de preensão manual (FPM) do tipo palmar é frequente-mente utilizada, especialmente, no âmbito fisioterápico e desportivo. A busca por valores normativos tem sido foco de alguns estudos, mas os diferentes instrumentos e protocolos dificultam a generalização dos resultados. Além disso, existem diversos fatores que podem influenciar a FPM como o sexo, a idade, a dominância, o horário de avaliação, o posiciona-mento corporal, a sinceridade do esforço, as características antropométricas e o tamanho da empunhadura. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão crítico-narrativa do estado da arte relacionado a medidas da FPM e alguns aspectos referentes à sua interpre-tação. De acordo com o universo bibliográfico revisado, em avaliações de FPM parece ser fundamental a utilização de um dinamômetro que permita a mensuração de curvas força vs tempo e que possibilite o ajuste contínuo da empunhadura de acordo com as dimensões da mão. Recomenda-se ainda: padronizar o horário de avaliação, avaliar ambas as mãos, realizar no mínimo três avaliações em cada mão, adotar um posicionamento corporal padrão, utilizar incentivo verbal e/ou visual e corrigir a força pela massa corporal. A padronização dos métodos de avaliação e interpretação dos resultados pode permitir a construção de valores de referência confiáveis e universalmente aceitos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
