Development of an integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and norm of hand grip strength
Bio-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.

Sensor evaluation for hand grip strength
International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2022 <p>This paper discusses the evaluation of the sensors used in the hand grip strength glove. The glove comprises of flex and force resisting sensors. Force resisting sensor determines the force applied by various parts of the palm, while the flex sensor determines the flexion of the fingers.
