Association between carrying angle and hand grip strength on writing speed among younger adults

This study aims to explore the association between carrying angle and hand grip strength on handwriting speed. By understanding this relationship, we can develop targeted interventions to improve handwriting skills, particularly in populations such as students and individuals with fine motor difficulties. Participants will receive an informed consent form outlining the study’s purpose, procedures, and potential risks. The digital goniometer will be used to note the angle. Next, hand grip will be assessed by using hand-held dynamometer. Participants will be instructed to grasp the dynamometer as hard as they could without experiencing any pain. They will be then urged to squeeze for as long as they could until the needle stopped rising. Before each trial, each subject will be asked to take rest for one minute and then exercise their maximal grip strength taking those values. For assessing the writing speed participant asked to write number of legible words in a fixed time period of time from the given passage and counting the legible words and noting it.
