Background and Purpose: Decreased grip strength is a predictor of adverse outcomes in
older adults. A Grip-ball was developed that can be used for home-based self-monitoring of …

Background Sarcopenia diagnosis is partly based on handgrip strength (HGS) assessment.
The gold-standard dynamometer for this measurement is the Jamar. The electronic Gripwise …

Background The first purpose was to examine whether knee extension strength is a better
predictor of functional performance than handgrip strength among older adults (≥ 60 years) …

Although manual muscle testing is undoubtedly the method used most frequently to quantify
the muscle strength of older individuals, it lacks sensitivity and responsiveness. These …

Introduction Hand grip strength has been widely used as a lead measure in geriatric
conditions such as frailty. However, diversity in assessment protocols and methodologies …

Grip strength is a predictor of health outcomes but with differing rates of age-related decline
in muscle strength, it is unclear whether handgrip is a reliable indicator of lower limb …

Handgrip strength (HGS) is used as a biomarker for the state of health of older people, but
the number of research publications containing the normative values of HGS in older adult …

Grip strength is a marker of sarcopenia, the age-related decline in muscle mass and
function, and has been little researched in Asian populations. We aimed to describe the …

Introduction Muscle fatigability can be measured based on sustained handgrip performance,
but different grip strength devices exist and their relationship to frailty remains unclear. We …

Introduction Muscle weakness is an important indicator of disability, chronic disease, and
early mortality. Grip strength is a simple, cost-effective measure of overall muscle strength …
