Hand Grip Strength – The Vitality Meter
An Important Biomarker of Disease and Ageing
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple and reliable measurement of maximum voluntary muscle strength. It is one of the important tests we run during your care.
HGS can predict not only muscle mass and physical activity, but also the incidence of chronic diseases, nutritional status, quality of life, independence of daily life, length of hospital stay, and even mortality.
So we gain an important insight into your health, wellbeing, longevity, spinal and neurological function with this simple test.
