This presentation (44:24 minutes) given by Ryan McGrath discusses how to measure mobility and functional impairment in older adults through handgrip strength. By the end of this presentation, learners should be able to: (1) examine how muscle strength is assessed in clinical settings; (2) evaluate why low handgrip strength is bad for health; and (3) determine possible limitations for handgrip strength, and how such limitations could be overcome.
