Fernandina Beach Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Fernandina Beach ladies, this one is for you (and those who care about you!). Men and women have different issues to contend with when it involves their bodies. Naturally! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is very familiar with these differences when it comes to treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Fernandina Beach chiropractic male and female patients. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic realizes the differences but highlights in this article an interesting finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues like Fernandina Beach back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic admires the connections researchers create! Researchers have verified how grip strength is a sign 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 related. Low hand-grip strength indicates anemia. (1) Another matter 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 declines; cognition declines. (3) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic finds these tests interesting for Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients and is quite interested in what hand-grip strength says about Fernandina Beach 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 defined as low grip strength of the woman’s dominant hand. A highly physical woman was defined as one who performed 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 probable to have low back pain. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic does many tests during the Fernandina Beach chiropractic examination; now you know why! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic doesn’t want to miss anything!
