Introduction: Grip strength measurement is used as an indicator for many hand and forearm related orthopaedic injuries as well as in neurological assessment. Aim: To find whether anthropometric measurements like hand length and forearm circumference have influence on hand grip strength of young healthy adults. Material and Methods: 198 healthy young adults were used for the study for data collection. Grip strength of both hands were done with hand held dynamometer. Anthropometric measurements of hand length and forearm circumference was done using measuring tape. Results and Discussion: The result showed that there is statistical significance between hand grip strength and both anthropometric measurements, that is, hand length and forearm circumference. Conclusions: Hand grip strength has direct correlation with the anthropometric measurement of hand length and forearm circumference. Hence hand grip strength is associated with hand length and forearm circumference irrespective of age and gender.
