Aim: To find out the prevalence of altered grip strength in weavers. Materials and Methodology: The survey was conducted in Karad. Weavers were selected randomly and were included in this study if they were working for nearly about more than five hours per day. Subjects with any hand injury, fracture, any cervical conditions were excluded as they will have decreased grip strength also people of older age were not selected for the study as grip strength decreases with age. After selecting the participants were told about the study procedure and its importance. Participants were selected willingly. Then the range of motion of the wrist joint was measured using a goniometer of both hands. After measuring the ranges grip strength was measured using a sphygmomanometer by asking the subject to squeeze the cuff of the sphygmomanometer which shows pressure applied by the subject. Both working and non-working hands were assessed for ranges and grip strength. Measurements were noted accordingly. Conclusion: This study concluded that the pincer grip of the working hand was affected more than the cylindrical one. While the cylindrical grip of the working hand was not affected. According to the study pincer grip in weavers is affected more than cylindrical grip of working hand. Workers working for more than 5 years are usually seen to have altered grip strength.
