For all occupations, having a strong grip is a necessary requirement for success. Differences in the nature of the work, the workplace, and the things that professionals handle may be responsible for these behaviors. A good hand grip is highly helpful in a variety of hand-intensive occupations like physiotherapy and dentistry. Musculoskeletal disorders, especially in the hand and wrist region, are common and have a great impact on work life. Purpose: The need for this study is to evaluate and compare the differences in hand grip strength between physiotherapy and dental students and to see if clinical training for physiotherapy students and dental students will have an impact on their hand grip strength. Materials and methods: 100 subjects were selected from Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences based on the selection criteria where 50 subjects were physiotherapy students(interns) and 50 subjects were dental students(interns). The hand grip strength of the subjects was assessed with the help of a hand dynamometer and the measurements were recorded. The entire study was conducted from November 2022 to March 2023. Result: The results of this study shows that there was a difference between both the groups and that physiotherapy students have better hand grip when compared to the dental students. Conclusion: The results and the data obtained from this research concluded that grip strength of physiotherapy students is more than that of dental students. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
