Grip Strength Asymmetry
The dominant hand is normally a bit stronger. A gap well over 10% is a signal worth checking — injury, a nerve issue, or simply favoring one side.
Your numbers
Grip asymmetry
8.6%
What it means
8.6% is within the normal range (10% or under).
Formula
Grip asymmetry = |Dominant-hand grip (kg) − Non-dominant-hand grip (kg)| ÷ max(Dominant-hand grip (kg), Non-dominant-hand grip (kg)) × 100

Frequently asked questions
QHow is Grip Strength Asymmetry calculated?
Grip asymmetry = |Dominant-hand grip (kg) − Non-dominant-hand grip (kg)| ÷ max(Dominant-hand grip (kg), Non-dominant-hand grip (kg)) × 100 — The dominant hand is normally a bit stronger. A gap well over 10% is a signal worth checking — injury, a nerve issue, or simply favoring one side.
QCan you walk through an example?
With Dominant-hand grip (kg) 35kg, Non-dominant-hand grip (kg) 32kg, the answer is Grip asymmetry 8.6%.
QWhat do I need to enter?
Enter Dominant-hand grip (kg), Non-dominant-hand grip (kg). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.
QHow much does the answer move if I change a number?
Changing only Dominant-hand grip (kg) (kg) moves the answer to Dominant-hand grip (kg) (kg) 17.5 → Grip asymmetry (%) 45.3 and Dominant-hand grip (kg) (kg) 70 → Grip asymmetry (%) 54.3. The table below lays out five steps.
QHow are the numbers rounded?
Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.
QAnything to watch out for?
This is a reading aid, not a diagnosis. Posture and timing shift the reading.
