Williamson Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Williamson ladies, this article’s for you (and those who care about you!). Men and women have unlike issues to deal with when it involves their bodies. Of course! Apple Country Chiropractic is very familiar with these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various injured states of our Williamson chiropractic male and female patients. Apple Country Chiropractic grasps 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 Williamson back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Apple Country Chiropractic is amazed at the connections researchers create! Researchers have documented how grip strength is a sign 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 indicates anemia. (1) Another issue 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 capacity to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength declines; cognition decreases. (3) Apple Country Chiropractic notices these tests interesting for Williamson chiropractic patients and is quite drawn to what hand-grip strength says about Williamson 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 tested with low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to have low back pain. (4) Apple Country Chiropractic does many tests during the Williamson chiropractic examination; now you know why! Apple Country Chiropractic doesn’t want to miss anything!
