Abstract
The normal grip strength was determined with the Martin Vigorimeter in 450 men and women aged 21–65 years. The grip strength decreased steadily with increasing age. Men were stronger than women and in both sexes the dominant hand was the strongest. The ratio dominant/non-dominant hand varied only slightly with age and sex and it could thus be a useful parameter in evaluation of grip strength under pathological conditions.Keywords
