Chapter 1: Introduction

Background of the research

Good grip strength improves performance in rock climbing and martial arts, as well as numerous other sports where you handle balls. Grip strength refers to your ability to grab something and pull it toward you or pull yourself up to it. It involves the flexibility and muscle strength of your fingers, thumbs, and wrists. Many exercises don't require any special equipment to make your hands more agile at lifting and holding a lot of weight, and can be improvised at home.

Problem Statement

The goal of the present study will be to compare the outcomes (strength, pain, function) of a six-week home program of stretching exercises alone and stretching exercises supplemented with either eccentric or concentric exercises.

Aims and Objectives

The objective of this study will be:

To evaluate the effectiveness of eccentric strengthening.

To assess the unique effects of a more intense or longer eccentric strengthening program for patients with lateral epicondylitis.

To evaluate the feasibility of a new functional tasks grip test exercise program, designed to improve functional performance of community-dwelling older women, by comparing it with a resistance exercise program.

Theoretical Frame work

Aging Is Strongly Associated with impaired mobility and decreased physical functional performance As a consequence, there is a loss of independence and quality of life, and the risk of falls and fractures increases. Approximately 20% of people between 65 and 75 years of age need assistance performing activities of daily living (ADLs), and this increases to 48% in people older than 85.5 Climbing stairs, shopping, rising out of a chair or bed, house cleaning, and washing and dressing oneself are the first ADLs to be affected. The decline in functional task performance is partly caused by the aging process and is accelerated by a sedentary lifestyle. Although aging is an irreversible process, the effects of decreased physical activity can be reversed in most people.

Many studies have shown that regular exercise is beneficial to basic physical function in older adults, increasing muscle strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility. However, the effects of exercise programs on the performance of daily tasks have not been proven indisputably. This may be because most exercise interventions aim to enhance performance of functional tasks by improving just 1 basic physical function, mostly muscle strength, flexibility, or balance. The performance of functional tasks, however, is more complex and involves an interplay of cognitive, perceptual, and motor functions and is closely linked to the individual's dynamic environment. That is, increasing muscle strength to improve the performance of complex activities violates the principles of training specificity, one of the most important principles for exercise training.14 Training specificity implies that the performance of any given activity is maximized by training in that given activity. Thus, to elicit the greatest effect, exercise training should simulate, as closely as possible, the conditions of daily ...
