Abstract
A digit grip sensor for measuring the grip strength of the human hand. The digit grip sensor comprises a post support having a first and a second sensor therein. A first post extends through the first sensor and a second post extends through the second sensor. A crossbar spaced from the post support extends between the first post and the second post. Each sensor has a plurality of strain gages mounted thereon for measuring the deflection of the sensor. The crossbar can have a plurality of individual digit sensors mounted thereon for measuring the contributions of each finger to the grip force. The crossbar and the individual digit sensors can be adjusted for various hand and finger sizes.
