However you think about group strength it probably is not broadly enough.

Grip strength is NOT just about hand strength.

It is NOT just an indicator of upper body strength.

It is NOT just about overall strength.

Grip strength is associated with:

  • mortality
  • psychological health
  • functional disabilities
  • hospitalization
  • morbidity

The article we are reviewing today, is seeking to convince you that grip strength should be considered as a vital sign, as it is an overall indicator of well-being. And, I believe it is a metric that each therapist should be paying attention to basically with every patient.

After we review this article, we will welcome to the podcast, Gabriella Francis OTR/L, ATC, CEO. Gabby is the CEO at Squegg, a grip strength pet health tech company. Through this role she has been immersed in the science of grip strength and today we are excited to discuss the practical implications of this new science for occupational therapy professionals and for our healthcare system.
