Abstract

Amaç: El fonksiyonları arasında kavrama, günlük yaşam aktivitelerinin devamlılığı için önemli bir fonksiyondur. Kavrama gücünün değerlendirilmesi, atletik beceriyi belirlemek, nöromüsküler hastalıklar, el cerrahisini takiben olası yan etkileri değerlendirmek ve tedavi planları için çok önemlidir. Genç erişkinlerde biyoempedans analizi (BIA) ve üst ekstremite antropometrik ölçümlerinin kavrama gücünü etkileyip etkilemediğinin incelenmesi amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, yaşları 18-25 yıl arasında olan 55 erkek ve 55 kadın olmak üzere 110 genç yetişkin üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Travma öyküsü, kas-iskelet sistemi sorunu ve kalp, solunum, metabolik veya sistemik hastalığı olan kişiler çalışmaya alınmadı. Antropometrik ölçümler için esnek olmayan mezura, Harpenden antropometrik seti, dijital kumpas, el dinamometresi ve deri kıvrım kalınlığı ölçüm cihazı kullanıldı. Biyoelektrik empedans ölçümü ile vücut yağ yüzdesi ve yağsız vücut kütlesi, kas kütlesi, bazal metabolizma hızı ve toplam vücut sıvısı parametreleri araştırıldı. Hata oranını düşürmek için 3 kez ölçüm alındı ve bu ölçümlerin ortalaması dikkate alındı.
Bulgular: Antropometrik ölçümlerden kol çevresi, ön kol uzunluğu ve bilek çevresi, BIA parametrelerinden ise mineral hariç olmak üzere; antropometrik ölçümler ve BIA sonuçlarının kavrama gücü ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde ilişkili olduğu bulundu.
Sonuç: Üst ekstremite antropometrik ölçümleri ve BIA kavrama kuvveti ile ilişkilidir ve cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermektedir. Kavrama kuvveti ile antropometrik parametrelerin çoğu arasında ve BIA ile anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.

The Effects of Bioimpedance Analysis Results and Upper Extremity Anthropometric Measurements on Grip Strength in Young Adults

Abstract

Aim: Among the hand functions, grasping is an important function for the continuity of daily living activities. The assessment of grip strength is crucial for identifying athletic prowess, neuromuscular illnesses, assessing potential side effects following hand surgery, and treatment plans. It was aimed to examine whether bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and upper extremity anthropometric measurements are effected grip strength in young adults.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 110 young adults, 55 males and 55 females, aged 18-25 years. Individuals with a history of trauma, musculoskeletal problems, and cardiac, respiratory, metabolic, or systemic diseases were not included in the study. Non-flexible tape measure, Harpenden anthropometric set, digital caliper, hand dynamometer, and skinfold caliper were used for anthropometric measurements. Body fat percentage and lean body mass, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and total body fluid parameters were investigated by bioelectrical impedance measurement. Three measurements were taken to reduce the error rate, and the average of these measurements was considered.
Results: Excluding arm circumference, forearm length, and wrist circumference from anthropometric measurements, and mineral from BIA parameters; anthropometric measurements and BIA results were found to be statistically significantly correlated with grip strength.
Conclusion: Upper extremity anthropometric measurements and BIA were associated with grip strength and varied according to gender. Significant correlations were found between grip strength with most of the anthropometric parameters and BIA.
