Abstract

Aim: to determine the grip strength by dynamometry in hemiparetic individuals post stroke. Materials and Methods: Grip strength was analyzed in 18 individuals (7 women and 11 men) using a dynamometer (Din Standard®, Cefise®) and body mass with an electronic scale (Camry®). Data was presented in mean and standard deviation. Grubbs, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Student's T tests were used, with a 95% confidence interval and p ≤ 0.05. Data were analyzed in GraphPad Prism® 5. Results: Significant difference was found between paretic extremity and non-paretic extremity (p < 0.0001). Significant differences was found in paretic extremities between men and women (p < 0.05); No significant difference was found in male's paretic extremities (p = 0.4633); Significant differences was also found in male's paretic and non-paretic upper extremities (p < 0.0001); and when compared the female's paretic and non-paretic upper extremities (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Hemiparetic individuals have reduced strength in affected side, when compared with his non-paretic sides; Moreover, no differences were found between male and females regarding paretic upper extremities.
