| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed an ultra-compact compression load-cell-driven round bar device called DataGrip II and constructed the prototype system for infants, who have small fingers. The grip strength measurement device consists of an aluminum round bar divided into upper and lower grip shafts, and it has an internal structure that shifts the upper grip shaft in a direction directly below the ultra-compact compression load cell. The force applied to the grip strength measurement device when the upper grip shaft undergoes a bending deformation can be measured by two ultra-compact compression load cells.
