"Aprensión" means 'squeeze', but that's not how the problem is described in English. The word 'grip' already implies squeezing.

limitación para la prensión del puño
limited gripping function // decreased gripping ability


Explanation:
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".
