A medical dynamometer is a device used to measure muscle strength, grip force, and physical performance. Commonly used in rehabilitation, physical therapy, orthopedics, sports medicine, and research, dynamometers provide objective data for assessing muscular function. With the rise in aging populations, sports injuries, and chronic conditions affecting mobility (like arthritis and stroke), the demand for accurate, non-invasive strength measurement tools is growing globally.
The global medical dynamometer market was valued at USD 654.0 million in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 1310.7 million by 2033.
