Three instruments for measuring grip strength: the steel spring dynamometer, the Martin Vigorimeter and the My-Gripper, were tested in a universal testing machine to evaluate the linearity of the readings. Furthermore, a clinical study including 100 normal probands evaluated the applicability of these instruments. It was concluded that the steel spring dynamometer was not suitable for clinical use, due to its lack of precision. The Martin Vigorimeter and the My-Gripper were both very precise instruments. The My-Gripper seems to be preferable for clinical use because it is cheap and easy to handle. Also, the instrument can accumulate the results of several trials, facilitating the calculation of average grip strength. A nomogram showing the relationship between the dominant and the non-dominant hand is given.
钢弹簧测力计、马丁握力计和My - Gripper，在万能试验机上进行测试以评估读数的线性。此外，一项纳入100名正常受试者的临床研究评估了这些仪器的适用性。得出的结论是，钢弹簧测力计由于缺乏精度，不适合临床使用。马丁握力计和My - Gripper都是非常精确的仪器。My - Gripper似乎更适合临床使用，因为它价格便宜且易于操作。此外，该仪器可以累积多次测试的结果，便于计算平均握力。给出了一张显示优势手和非优势手之间关系的列线图。
