Abstract

This study was designed to develop an objective method of strength measurement of muscles controlling the wrist joint in normal subjects. Forty subjects (20 male, 20 female) with a mean age of 22 years, were tested isokinetically at $60^{\circ}/sec$ and $120^{\circ}/sec$. Results were as follows, 1) Peak torque for wrist flexors, extensors were significantly different for both speeds, but wrist ulnar deviator, radial deviator peak torques were not, 2) Mean values for all muscle groups controlling the wrist were not significantly different for both speeds in the female group, 3) All mean values at both $60^{\circ}/sec$ and $120^{\circ}/sec$ were significantly different between males and females, 4) Means and standard deviations of wrist joint angle of movement at peak torque were determined.
