Interinstrument Reliability Between the Squegg ® Smart Dynamometer and Hand Grip Trainer and the Jamar® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer: A Pilot Study

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The Squegg shows promise for health care professionals, including occupational therapists, for grip strength assessment in clinical contexts. What This Article Adds: These results offer initial psychometric data for a new remote MGS measurement device. MGS is crucial for assessing the physical function of aging adults. Reliable measurements from such a device are vital for occupational therapists to guide treatment interventions and assess hand function's impact on daily activities.PMID:37824723 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050099
