Female Auto-Injector User Strength Data Across Age, Grip, and Injection Site

Force measurement data from 123 female U.S. residents performing simulated shield-activated autoinjector use. The study quantifies maximum activation force and mean hold force, crossing three age groups, two grip types, and three injection sites. The data was authored by Niels Christian Nilsson and last updated on April 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Designing autoinjector activation force thresholds based on measured user strength data.
• Identifying optimal injection sites for maximizing force application based on grip type.
• Developing age-specific training guidelines for autoinjector use based on force capability comparisons.
• Analyzing the relationship between power grip and precision grip forces across different body sites.

Strengths

• Data is based on a sample of 123 participants, providing a quantitative basis for analysis.
• Study design crosses three key variables: age group, grip type, and injection site.
• Provides ecologically valid measurements from simulated injections using surrogate devices.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to female U.S. residents, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
