Reliability of handgrip strength test in elderly subjects with unilateral thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis

Conclusions
The present results indicate that maximum handgrip strength can be measured reliably, using the Jamar hand dynamometer, in patients with thumb CMC OA, which enables its use in research and in the clinic to determine the effect of interventions on improving grip.
