Research indicates that grip strength in midlife can predict physical disability in senior years. Improving your strength now may prevent injury and disability later. Be aware that some medical conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis, affect grip strength. Grip strength and overall strength can be improved by weight training—and also by changing some daily activities.
