Grip strength is the measure of the strength you can exert through your forearm and hand muscles when grasping. Having proper grip strength, or doing exercises to enhance grip strength, can be beneficial in many ways. For example, it can decrease the risks of carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and arthritis.
One of the best ways of improving grip strength is by using a hand grip exerciser. A hand grip will increase the clasping or crushing strength in your hand. To use it, simply squeeze the hand grip with full force, while keeping your arm straight.
There is a range of both hand grip and grip splint options available, such as the ULTRApadded Grip Orthosis and the Freedom Ultimate Grip Splint. It may take some experimentation to find what works best for your needs.
