Abstract
A manipulation and force measuring device includes a planar force sensing resistor, a protective material surrounding the resistor, and an outer material surrounding the protective material. A first strap extends outwardly from the outer material. The first strap has one of a hook and loop fastener disposed thereon. A second strap extends outwardly from the outer material, distal from the first strap. The second strap has the other of the hook and loop fastener disposed thereon. A processor is attached to one of the first strap and the second strap. The processor is electronically connected to the resistor. A loop extends outwardly from the outer material. The loop is located proximate to the first strap. A method of using the device is also disclosed.
