  • a handgrip having a mounting shaft;

    a slip clutch having a shaft extending transversely of the handgrip shaft and connected thereto for imparting preselected friction in response to displacement of the handgrip;

    linkage means connected at a first end to the handgrip shaft for translating handgrip displacement to a corresponding linkage displacement;

    transducer means connected to a second end of the linkage means for electrically measuring the handgrip displacement;

    a support means for mounting all of the above-indicated means;
