Tyrannosaurus Flex: Finding the "Fair-ly Normal" Grip
Sponsor: University of Minnesota
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Dinomometer and establish normative data to inform clinical standards and benchmarks for therapeutic practice. This is a cross-sectional study designed to collect normative grip strength data from a large sample of the general population in Minnesota. Participants will primarily be recruited from attendees of the Minnesota State Fair. Grip strength will be measured using the Dinomometer, a non-invasive handheld grip strength measurement device. The study should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete for each participant including enrollment and completion of study procedures. Follow-up is not required.
