Overview

Review identifies the need for standardised grip strength measures in clinical and epidemiological studies, suggesting improved consistency.

Key Points

  • This review aims to address the variability in grip strength measurement methods and promote standardisation.
  • Reviewed current methods for measuring grip strength in various studies.
  • Evaluated the implications of inconsistent measurement on sarcopenia assessment.
  • Proposed a framework for standardised grip strength measurement.
  • Identified significant variation in grip strength assessment methods across studies.
  • Highlighted the impact of non-standardised measurements on sarcopenia diagnosis.
  • Proposed standardisation as a means to improve the reliability of grip strength comparisons.
