|6. |Brief Resume of the Intended Work: |

| |NEED FOR THE STUDY |

| |The reliable and valid evaluation of handgrip strength is of great importance in determining the affectivity of different treatment |

| |strategies and procedures. |

| |Grip strength is a powerful predictor of functional decline, disability, and mortality. |

| |The strength of ones grip plays a key role in injury prevention and overall strength development. |

| |The jamar dynamometer considered to be the most precise instrument for measuring grip strength. |

| |There are many researches comparing positive influence of forearm length, girth, palm length, width, BMI, and gender on hand grip |

| |strength. |

| |The forearm length, girth, palm length, width, BMI and gender on hand grip strength assessment has vital importance in clinical |

| |examination on hand function. |

| |This study will help in establishing relationship between forearm length, girth, palm length, width, BMI, and gender on hand grip |

| |strength which can be used in planning an effective rehabilitation protocol for hand function. |

| |Thus there exists a need to correlate forearm length, girth, palm length, width, BMI, and gender on hand grip strength. |

| |6.2 HYPOTHESIS: |

| |NULL HYPOTHESIS (HO): |

| |There is no correlation of forearm length ,girth palm length, width, BMI, gender with |

| |hand grip strength. |

| |ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS (H1): |

| |There is correlation of forearm length ,girth palm length, width, BMI, Gender |

| |with hand grip strength. |

| |REVIEW OF LITERATURE: |

| |In this study Intra individual and inter individual variations of grip strength and their relation to several anthropometric factors |

| |were analyzed in a standardized manner for 769 healthy adults and concluded that anthropometric variables such as forearm |

| |circumference and length, hand size, or body mass showed a positive correlation with grip strength.1 |

| |The objective of this study was to analyze the correlations between anthropometric data and maximal grip strength (MGS) in order to |

| |establish a simple model to predict "normal" MGS(maximum grip strength)and concluded that hand circumference had the strongest |

| |correlation with MGS for all three dynamometers and for both hands.2 |

| |The purpose of this study was statistically to explore the relationship between grip strength and BMI. 200 healthy subjects (117 males|

| |and 83 females, age 20.1±1.0 years) were participated this study and divided into three groups low, medium and high BMI and concluded |

| |that maximum volitional contraction of grip depended on BMI .3 |

| |A study was done to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and hand grip strength, and concluded with higher BMI |

| |and lower grip strength in younger participants.4 |

| | |

| | |

| |This study examined the impact of shape of the hand (as relatively long, average, or square-shaped hands)on maximal voluntary |

| |isometric grip strength and test retest reliability in a group of healthy teenagers aged 13 to 17 years. When 116 males and 112 |

| |females were measured males were significantly stronger than females (by 11.02Kg force, p ................
