Wow a lot of really good information. I actually learned a lot today. I enjoy these videos. Thank you for your dedication.

[@TheUpperHand]

We really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks a lot, guys! It was a well spent time. ✋✊

[@TheUpperHand]

Awesome! Thanks!

Hey y’all, great video! Just to confirm. Let’s say I have a stroke patient, right hand dominant, and ride side paresis. When I give them this assessment, it’s based off overall ability, even if they’re able to do the task with their left hand?

Thank you Gentlemen

[@WKaznartist]

So do you start with the uninjured hand first? Or start with the dominant hand first (no matter if it's injured or not).

[@TheUpperHand]

I always start with the unaffected hand first!

[@tammyhahn9572]

Are there normal or abnormal results when using the dynamometer? If so what would they be?

[@AtHomeTacticalDefense]

Grip Strength Test: 202.1lbs with right hand, and 211.6lbs with left. Best I can do today.

What if you are on a little line and are little past 50 ?

He just casually throws down 110 lb reading.

A colleague of mine got his hands on a digital hand dynamometer that blew my mind. It could handle loads up to 140kg, had a resolution of 0.1kg and took like 100 samples per second! It had its own app, that collects and plots the data in a graph 📉! Furthermore, the thing was odly accurate. It's called a Gripwise.
