Intrinsic hand strength measurement

Patent Pending For more specific dynamometry of the intrinsic muscles, intrinsic hand dynamometers have been developed. The advantage of these dynamometers is that they to do not measure a large number of muscles in combined action, but can measure single actions such as thumb opposition of index finger abduction.[5] One such dynamometer is the Rotterdam Intrinsic Hand Myometer (RIHM).[6] Reliability and validity of this dynamometer is comparable to grip- and pinch dynamometers.
