Abstract
This paper investigates the grip strength of individual fingers, utilising a medical dynamometer to measure the force exerted by each finger and both hands across multiple series of tests. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of finger grip strength among different groups, segmented by centile, gender, activity levels, and BMI. The scope includes detailed measurements of each finger's strength, aggregate hand strength, and statistical processing of the data to compute mean values, standard deviations, confidence intervals, and Student's t-distributions for the various centile groups. Results highlight significant variations in grip strength, correlated with physical activity and BMI. This detailed data set is critical for indexing, abstracting, and retrieval purposes, offering valuable insights for fields such as ergonomics, physical therapy, and sports science
