Abstract
Handgrip exercise using an elastic ball daily for three weeks could decrease the incidence of peripherally-inserted central catheter-related venous thrombosis. The method is simple, with no negative consequence reported. Further studies are required to confirm this conclusion and to explore the optimal frequency of handgrip exercise.
