Tonawanda Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Tonawanda ladies, this article is for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have unlike issues to deal with when it comes to their bodies. Naturally! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is very familiar with these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various injured states of our Tonawanda chiropractic male and female patients. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation realizes the differences but highlights in this article a fascinating discovery about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues including Tonawanda back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is amazed at the connections researchers make! Researchers have verified how grip strength is an indicator of an assortment of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia affects 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely connected. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another issue is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor quality of life as far as mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort aspects. (2) A third hand-grip strength connection to health is its capacity to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength decreases; cognition decreases. (3) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation finds these tests interesting for Tonawanda chiropractic patients and is quite drawn to what hand-grip strength reveals about Tonawanda back pain!
GRIP STRENGTH AND BACK PAIN
Another connection is made among back pain, hand-grip strength and a woman’s physical activity level in an over-50-year-old woman. Researchers tested 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 described as one who did 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 experience low back pain. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation does many tests during the Tonawanda chiropractic examination; now you know why! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation does not want to miss a thing!
