Abstract: A system includes a handle with a hinge mechanism at a first end, the hinge mechanism including a lower hinge portion and an upper hinge portion rotatably coupled together. The handle also includes a rotary mechanism positioned at the first end and coupled to the lower hinge portion to enable circumferential movement of the lower end portion about a longitudinal axis of the handle. Additionally, a sensor arrangement is positioned within a body of the handle, the sensor arrangement measuring a number of rotations of the rotary mechanism about the longitudinal axis of the handle.
