“…In one study, McCoy and Dekerlegand addressed the lack of standardization for positioning of the ulnar three digits during tip pinch with 76 healthy volunteers [11]. They found that pinch strengths were larger when the fingers were flexed, which agreed with findings by Hook and Stanley [12].…”

“…Distinct from wrist position, forearm position, thumb interphalangeal position, and ulnar finger position, pinching on the bridge or groove may result in a similar tip pinch strength measurement on a B&L engineering pinch gauge [8,9,11,13]. Additionally, equivalence was found within one pound for tip and lateral pinch, but not for three-jaw-chuck.…”

“…Inter-rater differences in scores can produce more than acceptable measurement errors (Edwards, Feightner, & Goldsmith, 1995); therefore, reliability between data collectors is vital. Sometimes more than one therapist takes measurements on the same patient at different points throughout the rehabilitation process and because pinch strength measurements are small, even small variations among therapists can largely impact pinch measurement scores (McCoy & Dekerlegand, 2011). It is important to establish inter-rater consistency when administering assessments to measure client progress, impairment, or baseline (Lindstrom-Hazel et al, 2009).…”

“…The patient was seated with his or her shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow flexed at 90˚, forearm in neutral position, wrist in neutral position between 0-30˚ of extension and 0-15˚ of ulnar deviation, and feet flat on the floor (Allen & Barnett, 2011). Furthermore, the ulnar three digits were in the flexed position during tip pinch strength testing (McCoy & Dekerlegand, 2011) and the interphalangeal (IP) of the thumb was flexed (Apfel, 1986).…”
