Which wrist position (e.g., neutral, flexed, hyper-extended) did you produce the maximal mean grip force? In your answer, be sure to explain which biomechanical factors may explain why wrist position influenced your maximal hand grip force.
Ans. If we consider the biomechanics of grip strength, we have to keep in mind the length-tension relationship curves generated during various movements of muscles. In the position of maximal grip strength, we need to consider movement of all the joints and muscles of the forearm and wrist related to causing of movement of hand. When the elbow is flexed, the neutral position of the wrist also generates maximal hand grip force. Flexion of elbow and extension of wrist is essential for production of maximal hand grip force.
