Juneau Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Juneau ladies, this one is for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have unlike issues to contend with when it involves their bodies. Of course! Aurora Chiropractic Center knows these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various injured states of our Juneau chiropractic male and female patients. Aurora Chiropractic Center appreciates the differences but highlights in this article a fascinating finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues like Juneau back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Aurora Chiropractic Center is amazed at the connections researchers make! Researchers have documented 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 connected. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another matter is that women with low hand-grip strength faced poor quality of life as far 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 decreases; cognition declines. (3) Aurora Chiropractic Center finds these tests interesting for Juneau chiropractic patients and is very drawn to what hand-grip strength says about Juneau 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 had low hand-grip strength and a low physical active level were more probable to have low back pain. (4) Aurora Chiropractic Center does many tests during the Juneau chiropractic examination; now you know why! Aurora Chiropractic Center doesn’t want to miss anything!
