Abstract

We would like to thank the authors for their interest in our work. We are grateful for the opportunity to respond to their letter regarding the origin of Jamar dynamometers. We have been delighted to learn about the history and origins of the Jamar dynamometer and believe that this information will be of interest to clinicians and researchers who use dynamometers in clinical settings or for related research. If the authors had not informed us, we would not have known this from the literature. We thank the efforts of the pioneers for their excellent work, which made it possible to objectively evaluate grip strength, and hope that researchers continue their work regarding the accurate measurement of grip strength and its clinical significance.
