Abstract

Grip strength measurement is one of the most accessible methods for measuring overall muscle strength, and many studies have shown a link between low grip strength and future diseases. In recent years, devices for grip strength measurements that can connect to digital devices for automatic data recording have been developed. However, such devices have high development costs and require daily maintenance. Therefore, this we propose a grip strength measurement method using the capacitance sensor of a smartphone and no electronic parts on the measurement device side.
