Fort Wayne Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Fort Wayne ladies, this one is for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have different issues to contend with when it involves their bodies. Naturally! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is very familiar with these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Fort Wayne chiropractic male and female patients. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is aware of the differences but focuses on an interesting discovery about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues like Fort Wayne back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic admires the connections researchers make! Researchers have described how grip strength is a sign of a variety of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia bothers 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely associated. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another issue is that women with low hand-grip strength experienced poor quality of life as it concerns mobility, usual activities and pain/discomfort dimensions. (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 declines; cognition declines. (3) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic notices these tests interesting for Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and is very drawn to what hand-grip strength says about Fort Wayne 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 performed muscle-strengthening exercise at least 3 days a week. Women who had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to experience low back pain. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic does many tests during the Fort Wayne chiropractic examination; now you know why! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic doesn’t want to miss anything!
