Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to analyze quantitatively the degree of injury and/or the progress of treatment for physical impairment. This study provided a more detailed study that evaluates all test parameters including maximum grip strength, duration of operation, average grip strength, acceleration work, dynamic endurance time and percent change in static endurance. In addition, a complete database management system is developed and used to store related training, evaluation, and personal information. Designed device in this paper developed a grip sensor using load‐cell transducer (≤60kg). The system will be efficient to operate and convenient to use, furthermore, it can be helped for understanding and analysis the progress of a patient during a doctor’s rehabilitation program.
