Sağlıklı Genç Erişkinlerde Cinsiyetler Arası Baskın ve Baskın Olmayan Üst Ekstremite Kas Kuvveti, Fonksiyon ve Eklem Pozisyon Hissi Arasındaki Farkların Karşılaştırılması

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremitelerdeki el kavrama kuvveti, eklem pozisyon hissi ve el becerisinin cinsiyete göre farklılıklarını karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 213 sağlıklı genç yetişkin (107 erkek ve 106 kadın) dahil edildi. Katılımcıların el kavrama kuvveti Jamar Dinamometresi, omuz eklem pozisyon hissi inklinometre ile ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonel beceri düzeyi Purdue Pegboard Testi ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremiteler arasında kavrama gücü ve el becerisi istatiksel olarak farklıydı (p<0,01). Cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında hem erkek hem de kadınların baskın ve baskın olmayan elleri kavrama kuvveti ve el becerisi farklılıklar gösterirken (p<0,01), eklem pozisyon hissinde ise herhangi bir fark yoktu (p>0,05). Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremiteler arasında kavrama kuvvetinde fark vardı ve erkekler her iki elde de kadınlara göre daha fazla puan aldı (p<0,01). Kadınların hem baskın hem baskın olmayan taraftaki el fonksiyonelliği erkeklere göre daha yüksekti (p<0,01). Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremite kavrama kuvveti(p=0,638), eklem pozisyon hissi (p>0,05) ve el becerisi (p=0,463) arasındaki fark sonuçları cinsiyetler arasında benzerdi. Tartışma: Kavrama kuvveti ve el becerisi cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermektedir. Ayrıca baskın ekstremitede sonuçlar daha fonksiyoneldir. El fonksiyon rehabilitasyonunda cinsiyet ve baskınlığın dikkate alınması önemlidir.

Comparison of the Differences Between Dominant and Non-Dominant Upper Extremity Muscle Strength, Manual Dexterity and Joint Position Sense Between Genders in Healthy Young Adults

Öz

Purpose: This study aims to compare hand grip strength (HGS), joint position sense (JPS), and manual dexterity between differences in dominant and non-dominant extremities according to gender. Material and Methods: Two hundred thirteen healthy young adults (107 males and 106 females) were included in the study. Participants' HGS was evaluated with the Jamar Dynamometer, shoulder JPS with the inclinometer, and upper extremity functional skill level with the Purdue Pegboard Test. Results: Grip strength and dexterity were statistically different between dominant and non-dominant extremities (p<0.01). In comparison by gender, the dominant and non-dominant hands of both males and females showed differences in HGS and dexterity (p <0.01), while there was no difference in JPS (p>0.05). There was a difference between HGS, dominant and non-dominant limbs, and males scored more than females in both hands (p<0.01). The hand functionality of females on both the dominant and non-dominant sides was higher than that of males (p<0.01). The difference results between dominant and non-dominant limb HGS (p=0.638), JPS (p>0.05), and manual dexterity (p=0.463) were similar between genders. Discussion: Grip strength and manual dexterity vary between genders. Additionally, the results are more functional in the dominant extremity. It is important to consider gender and dominance for hand function rehabilitation.
