Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Grip strength is affected by such as enslaving effect, force sharing effect, and force deficit effect relating to the interaction among fingers. The author attempts to analyze index finger strength according to grip span of adjacent middle finger. 6 male graduate students participated as subjects in this experiment. The grip span has been applied from 45mm to 60mm to investigate the effects of a coordination of grip spans on the index and middle finger strength. Results showed that index finger strength was the smallest in case of index finger grip span of 45mm. Index finger strength decreased as the middle finger grip span. In general index finger strength shared a decreasing trend when the grip span of the middle finger increased. This study has an implication that the grip span of index and middle fingers influences force sharing effect on index finger.
