ABSTRACT:
A device for providing grip strength feedback and alerting users when gripping strength fails used. The device comprises a trigger wire, two switches, an alerting means associated with the switches and a battery. A first end of the trigger wire is connected to one of the switches and a second end of the trigger wire is connected to the other switch. The device is secured on a handle of the walker such that the trigger wire is located below the handle of the walker and is grasped by the user and the ulna side and radial sides of the hand of the user are associated with the first and second ends of the trigger wire, respectively. The alerting means sends an audible alarm when the grasping strength of the user is weakened or completely lost.
