Abstract
Introduction: Pinch grip is the strength of the grip between the tips of your four fingers along with the thumb. This grip is important in the various actions that one might partake in during the day such as holding an object, carrying a heavy object, opening the lid of a jar, throwing an object and much more.
Materials and methods: Vernier Calliper was used to measure the hand length and the jamar pinch gauge was used to measure the pinch grip of the participant.
Results: A strong correlation between Krogman's index and pinch grip is seen with p ≤ 0.001
Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a significant correlation between pinch grip and Krogman's index in both genders.
