Measuring Grip Strength for Health
- Grip strength, also known as hand strength, is an anthropometric measurement that indicates muscle health in the hands and forearms. The measurement is often included in longitudinal studies because it’s an indicator of the overall well-being of an adult subject.
- The ULTIMAX Digital Hand Dynamometer can be an easy and inexpensive way to assess an individual’s health condition, and also help to measure one’s grip strength progress that could be good for survival.
Why Does Grip Strength Matter?
- It’s important to recognize that poor grip strength is not necessarily representative of poor health. Still, even just 10 minutes of physical activity each day is linked with avoiding disability, improving mobility and living longer.
- Grip strength grows weaker as we age, which eventually begins to affect our day-to-day. Simple things like opening jars, carrying groceries, and turning doorknobs are made more or less difficult depending on the strength of the hands.
Importance:
- You’re only as strong as your grip
- Your grip also affects your pushing muscles.
- Your body keeps your overall muscles relatively balanced.
- Firm handshake
- A strong handshake will leave a strong impression.
- Preventing injuries
Without grip strength training, sports, weightlifting or even mundane daily chores can conceivably result in either minor discomfort or more severe conditions such as tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome.
