NCT ID NCT07735195
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new handheld device called the Dinomometer, designed to measure grip strength in children ages 2 to 12. Researchers will collect data from about 600 kids at the Minnesota State Fair to establish normal grip strength values. The goal is to create reference standards that help clinicians assess hand function in young patients. The test takes only 10–15 minutes and requires no follow-up.
