Résumé
Grip strength has been identified as an important indicator of health status and predictor of clinical outcomes. The gold standard for measuring grip strength is the JAMAR® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer. Less expensive dynamometers are available but have not been validated within a hospital setting. To validate the Camry Digital Handgrip Dynamometer (Model EH101) against the validated JAMAR® Dynamometer (Model J00105) in a hospital population. A cross-sectional observational study with a randomised single-blind cross-over component was conducted on consenting adult patients admitted to general hospital wards. The best of three measurements taken using the dominant hand was used for analysis. Fifty-one participants (median [interquartile range] age 42 [30-58] years; The Camry Digital Handgrip Dynamometer is a valid tool for assessing grip strength in hospitalised adult patients. The Camry Digital Handgrip Dynamometer could be used as an inexpensive tool to measure grip strength.
