Description
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the interaction between neck and/or wrist pain and
hand grip strength (HGS) and to investigate factors (age, sex, neck disorders, and carpal tunnel syn-
drome) influencing the HGS of industrial quality proofing workers (N 1⁄4 145).
Methods: Standardized questionnaires [Neck Disability Index (NDI), Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire] were used to evaluate existing neck and/or wrist pain. HGS measurements were performed in different wrist positions.
Results: Significant differences between participants with and without neck pain were found in different wrist positions, in neutral wrist position right [without neck pain (n 1⁄4 48) 46.34 (43.39 - 49.30); with neck pain (n 1⁄4 97) 38.46 (36.20 - 40.72), F(1,144) 1⁄4 16.82, p < 0.001, sp 2 1⁄4 0.11] and left [without neck pain 44.06 (41.19 e 46.94); with neck pain 37.36 (35.13 - 39.58), F(1,144) 1⁄4 12.70, p < 0.001, sp 2 1⁄4 0.08]. A significant difference between participants with and without wrist pain was found for neutral wrist position right [without wrist pain (n 1⁄4 105) 42.53 (40.37 - 44.70); with wrist pain (n 1⁄4 40) 37.24 (33.56- 40.91), F(1,144) 1⁄4 6.41, p 1⁄4 0.01, sp 2 1⁄4 0.04]. Regression analysis showed significant results especially for steps two (age and weight, NDI) and three (age and weight, NDI, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire) for neutral position right (R2 1⁄4 0.355, R2 1⁄4 0.357, respectively).
Conclusion: Neck pain has an impact on HGS but should be evaluated in consideration of age and sex.
