Testing handgrip strength
InGrip
One of the most significant biomarkers
for predicting your future health
InGrip
Product Features
Load cell sensor for accuracy
and durability
Ensuring durability and precision, InGrip uses a load cell method that eliminates concerns related to hysteresis which is an elastic deformation, guaranteeing the accurate reproduction of values
“Handle Guide” for consistent results
Utilizing the "handle guide," all users can measure their handgrip strength by loading up the handle at the exact same position, minimizing errors in the measured values.
Wireless communication module designed to enhance versatility
The InGrip is equipped with a bluetooth wireless communication module and can be linked with other programs. Furthermore, the InGrip can be linked with the InBody, Body Composition Analyzer, giving it a number of possibilities when it comes to its application in the future.
Testing handgrip strength,
essential in assessing sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is not merely a natural consequence of aging; it is a recognized medical condition. The United States, in 2016, Japan, in 2018, and Korea, in 2021, have each designated Sarcopenia with an official disease classification code, acknowledging its status as adistinct ailment at the national level. One of the essential procedures to diagnose Sarcopenia is a handgrip strength test, which can be effectively conducted using the InGrip.
A handgrip strength dynamometer
used to predict your health needs to
be accurate.
A handgrip strength dynamometer, utilized for predicting mortality, disease
incidents, and assessing muscle strength, must consistently deliver precise results.
To ensure accuracy, the InGrip features a “load cell sensor,” a “handle guide,” and a
“reliability inspection” system.
While the Handgrip strength test may seem straightforward, it is one of the most significant biomarkers for predicting your future health.
Muscular strength is a fundamental factor that directly influences one’s physical capabilities and serves as a predictive indicator for overall health. Handgrip strength, in particular, strongly correlates with one’s overall body strength. This correlation makes the assessment of handgrip strength apractical alternative to gauging overall strength. Moreover, handgrip strength is an economical and convenient method for measuring muscle strength.
Hand Grip Strength (kg) Increase of Prevalence (%) |
-5kg(11lb) decreased | “Weak” Category | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Female | Male | Female | Male | |
| Mortality | 20% | 16% | 39% | 67% |
| Cardiovascular disease | 15% | 11% | 30% | 36% |
| COPD | 20% | 15% | 45% | 38% |
| Cancer | 10% | 6% | 21% | 23% |
Threshold for “weak” handgrip strength : Female <16kg,(35lb), Male <26kg(57lb)
The study followed the handgrip strength of 500,000 people aged 40 to 69 for 7 years to report grip strength, mortality, and incidents of disease
