Grip force measured in kg obtained by a JAMAR Dynamometer

750 people between 18 and 65 years old

Klum M, Hahn P et al. Normative Data on wrist function

Grip strenth (right) versus body weight

Predictive model

A simplified predictive model was calculated specific for this course

Model is based on : weight, heigth, age and sex

Prediction of grip force

A shiny app was build. With this app grip strength for the rigth hand can be predicted using the above mentioned parameter:

weigth, heigth, age and sex
