Abstract
Aim: The aim of this was to determine the force exerted during the pull test using a hand-held spring balance.
Materials and methods: A hand-held spring balance was used to determine the force exerted during pull test. Ten volunteers performed the test five times each, and the mean was recorded as the force exerted by each volunteer.
Results: A total of 10 volunteers were included in the study. The mean value of the force exerted by the volunteers was 0.25 N (Newton).
Conclusion: Using the spring balance, we attempted to measure the force used while performing the pull test, which may help in standardizing the hair pull test. Further experiments are being undertaken to determine the grasping force exerted during pull test. These two forces when combined in an instrument will enable us to overcome the individual investigator variability while performing the test.
