ABSTRACT:
A precision grip meter includes a frame; a base on the frame sized and shaped to engage the palm of the hand; a plurality of plungers on the frame opposite the base and located for being depressed by corresponding fingers of the hand; and a device associated with the base and the plungers for simultaneously measuring and recording both finger strength and overall hand strength. The grip meter may also comprise a frame; a force-detecting device; a first system on the frame for receiving the fingers of a hand and applying force exerted by the fingers to the force-detecting device; and a second system on the frame for receiving the heel of the hand and applying force exerted by the heel to the force-detecting device. Preferably, the grip meter is symmetrical so that it can be used for measuring the finger and hand strength of either the left hand or the right hand.
