Hand strength measurement instruments.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 1980
A set of instruments based on strain-gage application has been designed for hand strength measurement. The reduction in size, variation in position, and ease of calibration offer a wide range of functional evaluation without causing discomfort to the subjects being examined.

Clinical assessment of hand strength using a microcomputer

The Journal of Hand Surgery: British & European Volume, 1985
A microcomputer based system has been designed for precise, objective quantification of hand strength. Pinch, grasp and shear strengths are measured using force transducers. The system, which is quick and easy to operate, not only measures these strengths accurately, but also collects, stores and displays this data numerically or in graphical form, at

A Study of Adult Hand Strength

British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1983
The need to obtain an objective measurement of grip strength is discussed in the light of a review of the literature on grip strength. A study undertaken to obtain norms which could be used in the department at Addenbrooke's Hospital is described. This study found significant differences in grip strength between the sexes, between age groups, and ...

Strength testing using hand-held dynamometry

Physical Therapy Reviews, 2005
The reliability of strength measurements obtained during clinical examination has been the subject of many investigations. The need for an accurate, quantitative method to determine strength in multiple settings and environments is important for both examination and treatment.

Hand Torque Strength with Cylindrical Handles

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1983
The relationship between the diameter of a smooth cylindrical handle and the torque that can be applied by the human hand has been analyzed. An analytical model has been derived for the maximum torque that can be developed before the hand slips on the handle.

Predicting Pointing Time from Hand Strength

2009
Pointing tasks form a significant part of human-computer interaction in graphical user interfaces. We have developed a model to predict the task completion time for pointing tasks for people with motor-impairment. As part of the model, we have also developed a new scale of characterizing the extent of disability of users by measuring their grip ...
