InBody InGrip Hand-Grip Strength Measurement

Hand-grip strength is a simple but powerful marker: large studies link lower grip strength to higher risk of frailty, slower recovery and reduced functional independence with age, which is why it is a standard part of sarcopenia screening. The InBody InGrip at Klinika Best of Me replaces the old spring dynamometer with a high-precision digital device. You grip the handle and squeeze with maximal effort for a few seconds, usually for each hand and…

The test itself takes only a couple of minutes and requires no preparation. Its value at the clinic is in interpretation and tracking: a clinician explains how your reading compares to expected ranges and what it implies for muscle health, and pairs it with the InBody 580 body-composition scan so that strength and muscle mass are read together. It is particularly relevant for older adults, anyone with a family history of frailty, people recovering from…

There are essentially no contraindications for the test in healthy adults, though anyone with a recent hand, wrist or forearm injury, severe arthritis or a healing fracture should mention it so the clinician can adapt or defer the measurement. Within the clinic's Kickstart programs the InGrip is one of the functional markers re-checked at the three- and six-month reviews, giving a concrete, equipment-measured way to see whether interventions are…
