FIELD: medicine, particularly, methods of assessment of hand functional state. SUBSTANCE: method includes registration of maximum compression strength produced by Ist and IInd fingers of hand on dynamometer branches at maximum, medium and minimum intervals between fingers. If in medium grip, animal force is lass than value Fe calculated by formula Fe=(F1 + F2), where F1 is animal force at minimal interval between fingers; F2 is maximum animal force at maximum interval between fingers, functional state of hand is considered as unsatisfactory. EFFECT: higher assessment accuracy.
