My device is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the grip strength training products currently available, namely, 1. A one-size-fits-all design model; 2. A non-ergonomic grip; 3. Non-ergonomic motion; 4. Lack of adjustability; 5. No readout of force applied; 6. Limited range of resistance available. My device incorporates design features developed at Northeastern University by a professor of mechanical engineering who concentrated on biomechanical engineering. The most unique feature of the device is the four rollers to accept each of one's fingers. I have found no other device that accommodates the curling motion of the fingers as one squeezes a grip strength trainer. These rollers, resembling spools, are different sizes to accommodate the different sizes and lengths of our individual fingers and turn as a user crush grips the device. The device is adjustable to accommodate a woman's 5th percentile hand up to a man's 95th percentile hand. A digital display shows the force applied with each gripping motion. The resistance that can be loaded on the device can range from a few ounces to 400 pounds. I believe the device has a very good prospect of capturing share of the bodybuilding and physical therapy hand rehabilitation market with adequate resources and a well-developed business plan.
