How Strong Is Your Grip? | Happy OT Month
We’re celebrating Occupational Therapy Month with a Grip Strength Challenge at Synergy.
Grip strength is more than just hand strength.
It is one of the quickest ways to measure overall strength and function. Research shows it is linked to independence, fall risk, and even long-term health. It can also be an early sign of decreased upper extremity function before bigger issues arise.
How to participate:
Comment or post your guess (in pounds)
Stop by the clinic to test your grip
See if you can make the leaderboard
We will have three age groups:
13–17 | 18–64 | 65+
One winner in each group.
It takes less than two minutes.
Think you can beat the leaderboard? Come give it a try.
