gripové

Gripové is a Czech adjective derived from the word grip, borrowed from English, used to describe things connected with grip or handling. The term appears in technical, industrial, and ergonomic contexts and is common in Czech-language manuals, catalogs, and studies.

In design and engineering, gripové elementy refer to features that improve hold, such as knurling, textured surfaces, rubberized coatings, or contoured shapes on handles and grips. These elements aim to enhance usability, control, and safety by increasing friction and comfort during handling.

In occupational and sports ergonomics, gripové síly or gripové schopnosti are measures of hand strength and dexterity. They are often assessed with devices such as dynamometers to evaluate functional capacity, rehabilitation progress, or performance in tasks requiring a secure hold.

In product descriptions, gripové materiály denote materials chosen for slip resistance and tactile feedback. The term can function as a modifier (gripový/gripová/gripové) to agree with masculine, feminine, or neuter Czech nouns.

Related Czech terms include uchopovací, used for general gripping or grasping functions, and protiskluzový, referring to anti-slip properties. The usage of gripové is most common in engineering, ergonomics literature, and consumer product descriptions, where emphasis is on securing a reliable hold, comfort, and safety in handling tools, sports equipment, and medical devices.
