83173-5 Grip strength Hand - left Dynamometer

Term Description

NIH Toolbox recommended instrument for measuring grip strength is the Jamar Plus Digital dynamometer.

The Grip Strength Test provides a score for each hand, with the primary Toolbox score being the number of pounds of force the participant was able to generate using his/her dominant hand ("handedness" is assessed at the outset of Toolbox testing). This score is then converted to the Toolbox normative scale scores.

84418-3 Grip Strength Test - unadjusted scale score Hand.dominant [NIH Toolbox]

Term Description

NIH Toolbox performance measure unadjusted scale score: This score compares the score of the test-taker to those in the entire NIH Toolbox nationally representative normative sample, regardless of age or any other variable. The Unadjusted Scale Score provides a glimpse of the given participant's overall performance when compared with the general U.S. population. This score may be most useful when trying to gauge one's overall level of functioning, not in the context of age, gender or other demographic factors. It may also be of interest when monitoring performance over time. Higher unadjusted scale scores indicate better performance.

83175-0 Grip Strength Test - scale score age adjusted Hand.dominant [NIH Toolbox]

Term Description

NIH Toolbox performance measure age-adjusted scale score: This score compares the score of the test-taker to those in the NIH Toolbox nationally representative normative sample within the same age band, where a score of 100 indicates performance that was at the national average for the test-taking participant's age. For ages 3-17, normative age-adjusted scale scores use children of the same age for comparison (i.e., 3- year-olds are compared only to other 3-year-olds), to take into account expected developmental changes. For adults, age bands are used (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-85), following generally accepted practices in norm-referenced test development. A score of 115 or 85, for example, would indicate that the participant's performance is 1 SD above or below the national average, respectively, when compared with like-aged participants. Higher scores indicate better performance.

84416-7 Grip Strength Test - scale score fully adjusted Hand.dominant [NIH Toolbox]

Term Description

NIH Toolbox performance measure fully adjusted scale score: This score compares the score of the test-taker to those in the NIH Toolbox nationally representative normative sample, while adjusting for key demographic variables collected during the Toolbox national norming study. These variables, which include age, gender, race (white, black, other), ethnicity (Hispanic vs. non-Hispanic), and educational attainment (for ages 3-17, parent's education is used; education is often used as a proxy for socioeconomic status), are often found to impact performance within a given domain, and thus a separate "fully adjusted" score is provided that allows for comparison within a narrower grouping. For example, a fully adjusted scale score of 100 on the NIH Toolbox Grip Strength Test for a 35-year-old, Hispanic, white male with a college education indicates performance that was at the national average for Hispanic, white males with college education, ages 30-39. This can be useful information since, in this example, notable differences in grip strength are typical for males vs. females; using the fully adjusted score allows the user to evaluate male (or female) performance relative only to other males (or females). Higher fully adjusted scale scores indicate better performance.

84419-1 Grip Strength Test - national percentile Hand.dominant [NIH Toolbox]

Term Description

NIH Toolbox performance measure age-adjusted national percentile: This represents the percentage of people nationally in the participant's age band who ranked below the participant's score. It is simply a transformation of the participant's Age-Adjusted Scale Score into a format that many consider more easily understood. For example, if a 14-year-old attains a national percentile of 84 on a given Toolbox performance measure, it means that he/she performed better than 84 percent of 14-year-olds in the large Toolbox national norming study. More generally, it suggests that this 14-year-old performs better than 84 percent of 14-year-olds in the general population. For ease of understanding, this national percentile corresponds to an Age-Adjusted Scale Score of 115 - exactly 1 SD above the mean of 100. While a national percentile is provided only for the Age-Adjusted Scale Score, it can be readily derived for any scale score.
