New York City Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
New York City ladies, this article’s for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have different issues to contend with when it involves their bodies. Naturally! Rosenberg Wellness Center recognizes these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our New York City chiropractic male and female patients. Rosenberg Wellness Center grasps the differences but highlights in this article an interesting finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including New York City back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Rosenberg Wellness Center marvels at the connections researchers create! Researchers have documented how grip strength is an indicator of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia affects 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely related. Low hand-grip strength indicates anemia. (1) Another matter is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor quality of life as far as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort aspects. (2) A third hand-grip strength link to health is its ability to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength declines; cognition declines. (3) Rosenberg Wellness Center finds these tests interesting for New York City chiropractic patients and is quite interested in what hand-grip strength reveals about New York City back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is formulated 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 described as one who did muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more likely to experience low back pain.
