Hand dynamometers are unique therapeutic instruments intended for evaluating and measuring the most extreme isometric qualities of your hand and forearm muscles.
Sports, like baseball and tennis, where the hand is utilized for tossing or lifting make use of dynamometers to test hand strength. This tool is also essential for rehabilitation. If during a sports game an athlete’s hand is injured, its strength can be measured throughout the rehabilitation process with a dynamometer.
Two types of dynamometers that can be used are: hydraulic and steel spring Smedley.
Baseline® Hydraulic Dynamometer
This type of dynamometer features the following:
- Uses a sealed hydraulic system to provide precise grip quality readings without the subject having the capacity to feel the handle move.
- Internationally accepted design guarantees dependability, client comfort and repeatability.
- Maximum reading on the dial stays until the point is reset.
- Adjustable five-position handle and body contours assure the device properly fits the hand for consistent results.
- The strength readings can be read as both pounds or kilograms.
Baseline® Digital Smedley Spring Dynamometer
This type of dynamometer features the following:
- Uses a steel spring to measure the maximum strength of hand and forearm muscles.
- 5-preset grip sizes offer a quick and easy setup.
- Automatically records and displays the maximum grip force.
- Results can be assessed according to age and gender.
