Handgrip Strength Norms

A grip strength dynamometer is useful for testing your hand grip strength. The following are the norm values provided with the Camry Electronic Handgrip Dynamometer, useful for rating grip strength values for a wide range of age groups and for tracking improvements with strength training and during rehabilitation. There is also a simple norm table provided on the grip strength testing procedure page, and there are some grip strength results of athletes. There is a calculator if you need to convert your scores from pounds to kilograms.
