The Baseline® hydraulic pinch gauge uses the improved hydraulic system of the hand dynamometer to assure convenience, product reliability and measurement accuracy and repeatability. The therapist can support the pinch gauge during testing. This yields a more accurate result for all pinch tests (tip, key and palmer). The results are consistent with the published Baseline® and Jamar® studies. The maximum reading remains until the unit is reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. Each dynamometer comes in a rugged carrying case. The unit is made in the USA and has a 1-year warrantee. CE certified.
The 50 lb. (22.5kg.) Baseline® pinch gauge is available with a standard or HiRes™ (large head) gauge.
The transducer version of the Baseline® hydraulic hand dynamometer allows the practitioner to go far beyond taking the subject’s maximum strength reading. When properly interfaced with either a strip-chart recorder or computer the subject’s strength over time may be stored and graphed. This strength/time curve can give the practitioner insights into the subject’s condition. Must be used with 5volt DC system. Carrying case included.
