Athletes Soft Tissue Injury Monitoring System via Grip Strength Measurement

The purpose of this study was to compare the maximal dominant hand grip strength and the non-dominant grip force of professional athletes with grip-related soft tissue injury. This is to pinpoint the damaged soft tissue muscle area as it cannot be located by any means of screening, for example, x-ray. The subjects were chosen by male and female of five different sports that uses both hands crucially and with probability attained said injury. The subjects will test for an all-out maximum spherical grasps by gripping a softball as hard as they can with the dominant hand in an interval with repetitions. On each data collection, each subject was given three trials grasping a softball spaced thirty seconds apart. They were then required to repeat the same effort with the alternative grip force. The means were computed for dominant and non-dominant scores. An analysis of comparison of the subjects with the grip strength standard is then obtained and recorded.
