Abstract: Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the E-LINK system for measuring hand strength. Methods 25 healthy adults were recruited to measure the strength of hand using E-LINK system and Jamar respectively. They were measured again 5 d later. Results The intra- and inter-rater reliability of hand strength measurement was satisfactory (ICC>0.75), as well as validity ( Pearson r>0.75, P<0.01). Conclusion E-LINK system can measure hand strength well.

Key words: hand, strength, E-LINK system, reliability, validity
