Bedside Hand Grip Assessment with the Sphygmomanometer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Internal Medicine, 2013
A 39-year-old, right-handed man presented with rapidly progressive weakness of his dominant hand. On examination, his grip strength was normal in the left hand and decreased in the right (Fig. 1). He was found to have a left-sided brain tumor, which was thought to explain his weakness. Figure 1.

Development of an integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and norm of hand grip strength

open access: yesBio-Medical Materials and Engineering, 2015
Abstract This study designs and fabricates a novel integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and analyzes collected grip strength data. The dynamometer directly stores collected data in a computer, unlike those on the market that cannot directly store information. A strain gauge load cell is used as a force sensor.

Design and validation of the Grip-ball for measurement of hand grip strength

open access: yesMedical Engineering & Physics, 2012
The Grip-ball is a new dynamometer used to evaluate grip strength, as well as for use in home-based rehabilitation of the hand and forearm. The Grip-ball consists of pressure and temperature sensors and an electronic wireless communication system contained in an airtight ball. That can be inflated to different pressures.
