dc.description.abstract | BACKGROUND: Many daily functions and sporting events need high activity level of the flexor muscles of the forearms and hands. Handgrip strength is measured by a handheld dynamometer which is a reliable, safe and inexpensive device. OBJECTIVES: The study aims to find out whether the presence or absence of flexor digitorum superficialis tendon of the fifth (little) fingers (FDS-V) affects handgrip strength of athletes from different types of sports. METHODS: The effect of presence or absence of the FDS-V in a total number of 788 fingers of athletes (male n = 200, female n = 194) was assessed using isometric handgrip strength. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference existed in handgrip strength of the participants with and without the FDS-V of the little finger (p > 0.025). CONCLUSION: The presence or absence of FDS-V of the little finger in athletes has no effect on handgrip strength. | en_US |
