Hand Dynamometer

Hand Dynamometer – Measure, Track, and Improve Your Strength

Problem
Grip strength is a powerful indicator of overall health. Weak grip strength is linked to an increased risk of falls, fractures, cardiovascular disease, and even cognitive decline. However, most people never measure their grip strength, missing an early warning sign for declining muscle function and general health.

Who Needs It
Ideal for older adults concerned about falls and frailty, stroke survivors, individuals with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or spinal cord injuries, and anyone undertaking strength training or rehabilitation programmes.
