| description | Background: De Quervain's disease, characterized by inflammation of thumb tendons, is a common cause of wrist pain. This study emphasizes the crucial role of power and precision grip in De Quervain's patients, highlighting its significance for medical assessments.
Objective: To determine power and precision grip in patients with De Quervain’s disease.
Methodology: Over the course of six months, 86 participants from the Ghurki Trust and Teaching Hospital, GTTH, Lahore, Pakistan, participated in a descriptive cross-sectional study (June 2023 - Dec 2023) The study was collected from participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. They were selected through non-probability convenient sampling technique. Finkelstein test was used to collect data. Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics including affected and un-affected side of power and precision grip and demographic characteristics of the participant was collected.
Results: The study involved 86 participants from Ghurki trust and teaching hospital, revealed gender distribution of 61% females and 38% males with an age range of 20-39 years. The results showed weight of phone had mean ± SD of 1.88 ± 24.97.Power grip results showed that males on affected side had mean ± SD of 1.18 ± 0.68 and on un-affected side had mean ± SD of 1.78 ± 0.113 and in females, the affected side had mean ± SD of 1.20 ± 0.40 and on un-affected side had mean ± SD of 1.32 ± 0.54. Precision grip results showed that males on affected side had mean± SD of 25.06±2.90 and on un-affected side had mean ± SD of 23.51±3.05 and in females; the affected side had mean± SD of 25.49 ± 2.93 and on un-affected side had mean ± SD of 23.58 ± 2.27.
Conclusion: The study concluded that by comparing affected and un-affected side of male and female. There is a significant difference in male power grip however female power grip didn’t show any difference. Also in precision grip females showed a significant difference and males didn’t show any difference.
