Validity and reliability of handgrip dynamometry in older adults: A comparison of two widely used dynamometers
Abstract
Background Among older adults, decreased handgrip strength is associated with greater risk of frailty, and loss of physical function, mobility, lean mass, and overall muscular strength and power. Frailty is also associated with sarcopenia, for which handgrip strength measurement has been recommended for diagnostic purposes.
