Murfreesboro Handgrip Strength Tells A Lot about a Woman!
Murfreesboro ladies, this article’s for you (and those who love you!). Men and women have unlike issues to contend with when it comes to their bodies. Naturally! Most Chiropractic Clinic is very familiar with these differences when it has to do with treating the spines and their various hurting states of our Murfreesboro chiropractic male and female patients. Most Chiropractic Clinic realizes the differences but focuses on a fascinating finding about women’s hand-grip strength - not just her grip on a purse either! - and health issues like Murfreesboro back pain.
GRIP STRENGTH AND HEALTH
Most Chiropractic Clinic admires the connections researchers create! Researchers have verified how grip strength is a sign of a variety of health issues. One is anemia. Anemia affects 13.9% of elderly people. Hand-grip strength and anemia in women is inversely related. Low hand-grip strength suggests anemia. (1) Another issue 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 ability to monitor cognitive decline in adults over 60 years old. Hand-grip strength declines; cognition declines. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic notices these tests interesting for Murfreesboro chiropractic patients and is really interested in what hand-grip strength reveals about Murfreesboro 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 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 described as one who did 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 likely to experience low back pain. (4) Most Chiropractic Clinic does many tests as part of the Murfreesboro chiropractic examination; now you know why! Most Chiropractic Clinic does not want to miss a thing!
