Effect of Carrying angle with Pinch Strength and Grip Strength in young college going students

The carrying angle is an angle formed by the arm and forearm, critical for hand function and upper limb strength. This study investigates how an increased carrying angle, common among young people, affects grip strength, pinch strength, upper limb strength, and wrist function. Understanding this connection can improve assessments and rehabilitation plans for elbow pathologies. This study aimed to investigate the impact of increased carrying angle on hand grip and pinch strength, upper limb strength, and wrist function in young adults. This cross-sectional study investigated the impact of carrying angle on hand and pinch strength, upper limb strength, and wrist function in young adults (18-24 years old) at a physiotherapy lab in India. This study found that increased carrying angle in young adults is associated with decreased hand grip and pinch strength, but not upper limb strength or wrist function. This suggests potential muscle weakness with increased carrying angle, warranting further investigation for improved clinical assessments.

提携角（carrying angle）为上臂与前臂形成的夹角，对手部功能与上肢肌力具有至关重要的意义。本研究针对青年人中较为常见的提携角增大现象，探讨其对握力、捏力、上肢肌力及腕关节功能的影响。明晰二者间的关联，可优化肘部病变的评估与康复方案制定。
本研究旨在探究提携角增大对青年人群的握力、捏力、上肢肌力及腕关节功能的影响。
本项横断面研究于印度某物理治疗实验室开展，针对18至24岁的青年群体，分析提携角对上述指标的作用效果。
研究结果显示，青年群体的提携角增大与握力、捏力下降存在显著关联，但与上肢肌力及腕关节功能无明显相关性。该结果提示提携角增大可能伴随潜在的肌肉无力问题，有待进一步开展研究以优化临床评估手段。
