Özet:

 Purpose: This study aims to compare hand grip strength HGS, joint position sense JPS, and manual dexterity between differences in dominant and non-dominant extremities according to gender. Material and Methods: Two hundred thirteen healthy young adults 107 males and 106 females were included in the study. Participants HGS was evaluated with the Jamar Dynamometer, shoulder JPS with the inclinometer, and upper extremity functional skill level with the Purdue Pegboard Test. Results: Grip strength and dexterity were statistically different between dominant and non-dominant extremities p0.01. In comparison by gender, the dominant and non-dominant hands of both males and females showed differences in HGS and dexterity p 0.01, while there was no difference in JPS p0.05. There was a difference between HGS, dominant and non-dominant limbs, and males scored more than females in both hands p0.01. The hand functionality of females on both the dominant and non-dominant sides was higher than that of males p0.01. The difference results between dominant and non-dominant limb HGS p0.638, JPS p0.05, and manual dexterity p0.463 were similar between genders. Discussion: Grip strength and manual dexterity vary between genders. Additionally, the results are more functional in the dominant extremity. It is important to consider gender and dominance for hand function rehabilitation.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremitelerdeki el kavrama kuvveti, eklem pozisyon hissi ve el becerisinin cinsiyete göre farklılıklarını karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 213 sağlıklı genç yetişkin 107 erkek ve 106 kadın dahil edildi. Katılımcıların el kavrama kuvveti Jamar Dinamometresi, omuz eklem pozisyon hissi inklinometre ile ve üst ekstremite fonksiyonel beceri düzeyi Purdue Pegboard Testi ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremiteler arasında kavrama gücü ve el becerisi istatiksel olarak farklıydı p0,01. Cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında hem erkek hem de kadınların baskın ve baskın olmayan elleri kavrama kuvveti ve el becerisi farklılıklar gösterirken p0,01, eklem pozisyon hissinde ise herhangi bir fark yoktu p0,05. Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremiteler arasında kavrama kuvvetinde fark vardı ve erkekler her iki elde de kadınlara göre daha fazla puan aldı p0,01. Kadınların hem baskın hem baskın olmayan taraftaki el fonksiyonelliği erkeklere göre daha yüksekti p0,01. Baskın ve baskın olmayan ekstremite kavrama kuvvetip0,638, eklem pozisyon hissi p0,05 ve el becerisi p0,463 arasındaki fark sonuçları cinsiyetler arasında benzerdi. Tartışma: Kavrama kuvveti ve el becerisi cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermektedir. Ayrıca baskın ekstremitede sonuçlar daha fonksiyoneldir. El fonksiyon rehabilitasyonunda cinsiyet ve baskınlığın dikkate alınması önemlidir.
