I've been hearing about a lot of people getting tested for hand grip strength to give a good indication of having PEM. (And there's research: Hand Grip Strength as a Clinical Biomarker for ME/CFS and Disease Severity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6277492/)
I have searched everywhere for the protocol for this test. Something in laymen's terms that's step-by-step for my doctor. I can't find anything. And my brain is an issue.
I don't 100% trust my doctor to get it right. I brought her the Bateman Horne Center's protocol for the NASA lean test and it should take at least 10 minutes; she did it in about 3 minutes. I want to do the grip test at home before asking her to do it.
Does anyone know of anything that exists? Can you please provide a link?
Thank you.
