performing training of chopsticks and grasp strength that are helpful to dexterity and grasp strength of hand together with
training method of joint exercise, muscle strength build-up training, delicate hand function training.
Method : By targeting 30 normal adult male/females engaged in K university, Busan for one month on April, 2015, 10
persons of hand function build-up training group, that of dexterity training group and 10 persons of control group were
randomly selected. For hand function build-up training group, chopsticks training in parallel with total 20 times of grasp
strength training for 4 weeks including 5 minutes of dominant hand grasp strength training, 5 minutes of non-dominant hand
grasp strength training, 15 minutes of chopsticks training was performed based on 25 minutes/one time, 5 times a week.
Result : First, In a comparison of dexterity of both hands by each group depending on training period, hand function build-up group and dexterity training group were represented to be effective compared with control group. Secondly, In a comparison of manipulatory ability of both hands by each group depending on training period, hand function build-up group and dexterity training group were represented to be effective compared with control group.
Conclusion : It is considered that diversified and broad research covering patients with musculoskeletal disease and nervous system-related disease would be performed by securing far more test subjects after comparing a correlation between dexterity training and hand function training.
