Introduction. The wrist, with its composite anatomical composition, is deemed the most complex joint in the human body, vital for multifaceted hand movements. However, diseases or injuries can significantly impair wrist function, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its anatomy and biomechanics. Concurrently, weightlifting, a popular exercise regimen, demands precise wrist functionality for optimal performance.
Objective. This study investigates the influence of alternative wrist grip methods and wrist strength on wrist function among novice weightlifters.
Method. Through a cross-sectional observational design, data was collected from 88 participants, aged 16 to 35 years, encompassing wrist pain, strength, and functionality. Bench and shoulder press exercises were performed, with grip methods discreetly noted. Wrist strength was measured using a dynamometer, while functionality was assessed through the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire, and goniometer-assisted range of motion assessments were done.
Results. Descriptive statistics unveiled diverse characteristics among participants, including age, wrist strength, BMI, pain ratings, PRWE scores, and wrist range of motion, underscoring individual differences in wrist functionality. Average wrist strength values further highlighted these variations.
Conclusion. These findings provide valuable insights into the intricate relationships between grip methods, wrist strength, and overall wrist functionality among beginner weightlifters, offering a foundation for targeted interventions to optimize wrist health and enhance performance. This literature found out that the overall wrist function and strength of both dominant and non-dominant wrists were better in participants of neutral wrist group. Participants of extended wrist group were experiencing more pain as compared to neutral wrist group.
