Why We Start with Grip Strength

The New Vital Sign For Seniors

Grip strength is fast, non-invasive, and shown to correlate with:

  • Biological resilience
  • Muscle mass and bone density
  • Balance and mobility
  • Frailty, functional health status and ability

Grip strength should be measured at every clinical touchpoint. It’s a foundational starting point for falls prevention.
