Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between hand grip strength and the speed of buttoning down a shirt. Material and method: Female subjects (n = 28) volunteered for this study (age: 23.63 + 5.6 yrs; ht. 171.22 + 7.1 cm; mass: 73.21 + 23.1 kg). Participants were provided a button shirt from the same manufacturer, and all were identical with 5 buttons each. All subjects placed both hands on the collar with opposite fingers touching the first button before being given the start command. The research team digitally timed the participants in seconds on how fast the participant could button down the shirt. Of three trials, the best time was recorded. Participants were then assessed 1 maximal grip strength test per hand via a Camry hand-grip dynamometer. Results: Pearson correlation from right-hand grip strength to best time (r = - 0.214; p = 0.274) and left-hand grip strength to best time (r = - 0.028; p = 0.888) was not significant. Discussion and conclusion: No statistical significance was found between grip strength and the fastest trial of buttoning down a shirt.
