Ashburn and Herndon Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Ashburn and Herndon ladies, this article is for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have different issues to deal with when it comes to their bodies. Naturally! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn recognizes these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic male and female patients. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn appreciates the differences but highlights in this article a fascinating finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues like Ashburn and Herndon back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn admires the connections researchers make! Researchers have described how grip strength is an indicator of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia bothers 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely connected. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another issue is that women with low hand-grip strength faced poor quality of life insofar as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort dimensions. (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 decreases; cognition declines. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn finds these tests interesting for Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients and is really drawn to what hand-grip strength says about Ashburn and Herndon back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is crafted 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 classified 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 tested with low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more likely to have low back pain.
