| Description: | Instructions
- Ask the client to grasp the grip between the fingers and palm at the base of the thumb.
- Adjust the grip so the second joint of the fingers fits snugly under the handle and takes the weight of the instrument. Lock the grip in place.
- Have the client hold the dynamometer in-line with the forearm at the level of the thigh, away from the body.
- Place a marker on the wall and ask the client to concentrate on it as they squeeze maximally on the hand dynamometer to exert maximal force. Have the client exhale while squeezing (to avoid build-up of intrathoracic pressure).
- Neither the hand nor the dynamometer should touch the body or any other object.
- Measure each hand twice, alternating hands. Record the maximum scores for each hand to the nearest kilogram.
Scoring and Recording
Combine the maximum scores from each of the left and right hands. Record the result and associated Health Benefit (from the table) on the Client Information Sheet.
