Grip strength is a valuable indicator that can be used to describe not only hand function, but also the overall functional status of the upper-limb strength or even of the entire body. A number of improvements could be made. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the development of new methods of measurement and analysis of grip-strength. After an in-depth literature review of the most relevant aspects of grip-strength testing, an intelligent dynamometer for home-based testing, the Grip-Ball, is presented. This dynamometer consists of a pressure sensor and a wireless communication system, which are inserted in-side a supple, air-tight ball, in order to measure the pressure inside the ball when it is squeezed. In addition to the Grip-Bal...
