Grip strength is important for many daily activities like eating, dressing, driving, lifting and carrying. It is often overlooked in strengthening programs until the weakness starts to interfere with day-to-day function. Grip strength norms vary based on age and sex. The JAMAR grip dynamometer is a device that measures grip strength. The handle is squeezed and hydraulic pressure moves the needle on the dial. The handle itself does not move. There are five hand positions available to accommodate different sized hands, however position 2 is most commonly used for testing. Often children get injured at the most inopportune time, right before or during a competition or game,” says Dr. Goad.
