Effect of Body Posture on Hand Grip Strength in Adult Bengalee Population

Objectives: The present work was aimed to assess the variation of grip strength with the changes of posture and body joint angles and to establish an optimal body posture and joint angle for the maximum grip strength for adult Bengalee population. Methods: Adult male (n=156) and female (n=224) were involved in this study. The hand grip strength was measured by using Lafayette hand grip dynamometer. Results: The results revealed that male subjects had a significantly greater (p
