Clinical Use of Hand Grip Strength to Determine Fall Risk
Measuring hand grip strength may be the key to preventing falls. Falls are a leading cause for injury and death in older populations. Muscle weakness is a main reason that falls occur, with hand grip weakness being directly correlated to higher fall risk. Measuring hand grip strength via a hand dynamometer is a simple and reliable tool for healthcare providers and individuals at home. These measures will help in identifying and reducing fall risk.
