Grip

This randomized controlled trial will investigate whether adding neurodynamic tensioning to a grip strengthening program provides additional improvements in hand grip strength in healthy adults. Sixty participants aged 18 to 40 years will be randomly assigned to two groups. Both groups will perform a standardized grip strengthening program for six weeks, three days per week. The experimental group will additionally receive neurodynamic tensioning exercises targeting the median and ulnar nerves. Hand grip strength will be assessed at baseline, week 3, and week 6. The study aims to determine whether neurodynamic tensioning provides additional benefit beyond grip strengthening alone.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between professional experience and grip strength, pain threshold and anxiety level in dentists. As a result of the results obtained, we aim to contribute an original study to the literature and to increase awareness by informing the dentists participating in the study.
