Spanish term (edited):
limitación para la prensión del puño
limited gripping function // decreased gripping ability
Diría, sin mayor contexto, que una cosa es la fuerza de agarre (grip strenght) y otra una limitación de la prensión, esto es, una limitación de la capacidad de prensión o agarre versus de la fuerza de prensión o agarre de la mano (que tal vez podría expresarse como "limited/decreased gripping ability/function"). Si bien una limitación del agarre implicará una menor fuerza de agarre, menor fuerza de agarre no implica necesariamente una limitación del propio movimiento.
Y sí, "aprensión" es un error; debe leerse "prensión".

Discussion
En el original, prensión del puño / prensión de la mano harían referencia a lo mismo (grip/gripping), tanto si fuera una referencia a la fuerza de agarre (grip strength) como si, como planteo en respuesta, fuera una referencia a la capacidad de agarre (gripping function/ability).
En cuanto a prensión/aprensión;
Prensión, acción y efecto de prender algo
Aprensión, escrúpulo, recelo
aprensión del puño
aprensión de la mano

Tratando de aclarar algunos puntos que ayuden en la evaluación de la discapacidad de pacientes portadores de este tipo de deficiencias, se detallarán las características que le confieren a la mano su principal función: ***la prensión***. Mediante la prensión, el miembro superior establece su actividad básica que es la manipulación.
La prensa palmar o "puño" ….es la prensión de fuerza para los objetos pesados y voluminosos. Para efectuarla los músculos esenciales son los flexores superficiales y profundos, los interóseos y todos los de la eminencia tenar.

Based on literature review, a need was identified to develop a tool that is user-friendly, evaluates unilateral gross motor function of the hand to perform power grasp (ie, ***palmar grasp***) and precision grip (ie, lateral pinch and pulp pinch)...
