This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Exercise prescribed to treat osteoarthritis significantly improve grip strength, but it is unclear how they affect thumb specific forces. In this study, six weeks of hand exercise improved thumb force application in osteoarthritic (OA) and older healthy participants but not for the younger healthy population.
