Abstract
- Grip strength has been used to evaluate the upper extremity functional status and clinical outcomes following upper extremity trauma or surgery. Understanding general recovery patterns of grip strengthening can be helpful in assessing the patients’ recovery status and in assisting in preoperative consultations regarding expectations for recovery. We summarize related studies on grip strength measurement and recovery patterns in common hand conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury, and distal radius fractures.
