AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to critically appraise, compare, and 
      summarize the quality of the measurement properties of grip strength (GS) in 
      patients with musculoskeletal, neurologic, or systemic conditions and healthy 
      participants without these conditions. DATA SOURCES: We followed the 
      Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments 
      guideline. To identify studies on measurement properties of GS, we searched the 
      MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Physiotherapy 
      Evidence, and Cochrane Library databases from inception until June 2019. 
      Meta-analyses were carried out using a random effects model and 95% CIs were 
      calculated. STUDY SELECTION: Studies were included if they reported at least 1 
      measurement property of hand GS in a population with musculoskeletal, neurologic, 
      and systemic conditions or a healthy population without these conditions. DATA 
      EXTRACTION: The extracted data included the study population, setting, sample 
      size, measurement evaluated, and the test interval. DATA SYNTHESIS: Twenty-five 
      studies were included with 1879 participants. The pooled results indicated 
      excellent intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.92 (95% CI, -0.88-0.94 
      for healthy participants without any conditions, ICC of 0.95 (95% CI, -0.93-0.97) 
      for upper extremity conditions, and an ICC of 0.96 (95% CI, -0.94-0.97) for 
      patients with neurologic conditions. Minimum clinically important difference 
      (MCID) scores for hand GS were 5.0 kg (dominant side) and 6.2 kg (nondominant 
      side) for patients post stroke, 6.5 kg for the affected side after distal radius 
      fracture, 10.5 lb and 10 kPa for immune-mediated neuropathies, 17 kg for patients 
      with lateral epicondylitis, and 0.84 kg (affected side) and 1.12 kg (unaffected 
      side) in the carpometacarpal osteoarthritis group; MCID GS estimates were 
      2.69-2.44 kg in the healthy group without conditions. CONCLUSION: Our synthesized 
      evidence indicated that GS assessment is a reliable and valid procedure among 
      healthy participants as well as across various clinical populations. Furthermore, 
      our MCID summary scores provided useful information for evaluating (clinical 
      importance) new interventions regarding hand GS.
