“MANUGRIP”: A Hand Exercise Equipment for the Elderly 

Chula Medical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (CMICe) presents “MANUGRIP,” an innovative hand exercise equipment for hand health and vascular disease prevention. The innovation was developed by Dr. Sunee Suwanpasu, Advanced Nurse Practitioner specializing in elderly care, Nursing Department, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.  

MANUGRIP is a device designed to help enhance grip strength and improve grasping power, focusing on isometric hand exercises with resistance. This device helps reduce the risk of trigger finger and aids in preventing vascular diseases by increasing grip strength. Research has found that lower than normal grip strength may increase the risk of vascular diseases. Furthermore, using MANUGRIP consistently according to the prescribed exercise program for 8 weeks may help control blood pressure levels in individuals with initial stages of hypertension. 

MANUGRIP is made from PS material and rubber, offering high safety. Its resistance design is constant, utilizing a dual-pull spring concept that has not been available in the market before. It is also designed to fit the size of the user’s palm and fingers, making it safe and effective for exercise training.
