    The aim was to determine how grip strength relates to functional capacity in elderly patients attended to in a physical therapy center in Surquillo. This research uses a quantitative approach, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design with 91 participants, selected through census sampling, considering selection criteria. The grip strength variable was measured using the JAMAR dynamometer, and functional capacity was measured using the Barthel Index, both Gold Standard instruments. A sociodemographic data collection form was used. The research results showed that 65% of participants were female, and 52% were aged 70-99 years. 58% had normal strength levels, and 66% had independent functional capacity. The Spearman coefficient was 0.49, with a significance of less than 0.05, indicating a positive relationship between the variables. It is concluded that there is a significant relationship between grip strength and functional capacity in elderly patients attending a physical therapy center in Surquillo in 2023.
