| The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a wrist extensor muscles fatigue protocol at the handgrip and lateral pinch strength through dynamometry and surface electromyography (EMG). Forty male individuals were divided into two groups: handgrip and lateral pinch group. The fatigue protocol was based on the 1 Maximal Repetition (1-MR) test, followed by wrist extension movement repeated multiple times with a load of 75% of 1-MR. The volunteers performed hand grip and lateral pinch with a dynamometer. Surface EMG was performed by both groups to analyze the behavior of median frequency (MF) during a fatigue protocol. The muscles extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum and flexor digitorum superficialis were analyzed. The strength and EMG evaluations were carried out before and after the fatigue protocol in both groups. The fatigue protocol was effective on hand grip strength reduction (43.5±3.85 kgf in baseline and 36.50±5.1 kgf final) and lateral pinch strength reduction (10.26±1.01 kgf in baseline and 8.54±0.86 kgf final) (p<0.05, 95% CI). At the EMG analysis, using median frequency, an ulnaris carpal extensor muscle fatigue at the handgrip group was evidenced. The findings indicate that wrist extensors fatigue can decrease the strength in functional activities such as handgrip, resulting in upper limb dysfunctions.
