Grip Strength Provides More Information Than Meets the Eye

After sustaining an injury or experiencing prolonged pain, one might seek assessment by a licensed medical professional. Upon arrival, the individual likely goes through a physical exam and battery of tests to determine a diagnosis, prognosis, and plan of care. The information collected allows the healthcare professional to develop an appropriate plan of care that will address the individual’s impairments and functional limitations. One of these possible objective measures is grip strength testing. Grip strength testing is easy to perform but may not be as commonly used during the physical examination.
