About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Dinomometer and establish normative data to inform clinical standards and benchmarks for therapeutic practice.
This is a cross-sectional study designed to collect normative grip strength data from a large sample of the general population in Minnesota. Participants will primarily be recruited from attendees of the Minnesota State Fair. Grip strength will be measured using the Dinomometer, a non-invasive handheld grip strength measurement device.
The study should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete for each participant including enrollment and completion of study procedures. Follow-up is not required.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children between the ages of 2-12 year old who demonstrate participation interest and provide informed consent and assent (when appropriate).
Disqualifiers
Presence of a known musculoskeletal, neurological, or neuromuscular condition affecting upper limb strength or function (including, but not limited to, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injury, muscular dystrophy, etc.)
Diagnosis of a systemic condition affecting the musculoskeletal or nervous system

Dinomometer
DeviceThe investigational device being evaluated in this study is the Dinomometer, a handheld grip strength measurement device designed for use in pediatric populations. The Dinomometer will be used to collect grip strength measurements from participants at the Minnesota State Fair. No drugs, biologics, or additional investigational agents are involved in this study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Collection of normative grip strength data using the Dinomometer
The primary outcome is the collection of normative grip strength data from a large sample of the general population in Minnesota using the Dinomometer. These data will be used to establish reference values and benchmarks to inform clinical interpretation of Dinomometer measurements in therapeutic settings.
Time frame
During a single study visit lasting approximately 10-15 minutesSecondary outcomes
1
Grip strength variability across demographic subgroups
Secondary outcomes include the characterization of grip strength variability across demographic subgroups, including age, sex, height and weight. These data will inform the development of stratified normative reference values to support clinician decision-making across a range of patient populations.
