The SAEHAN Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer offers numerous features for standard screening work, as well as for assessing hand trauma and disease;
BENEFITS
Some patients may be reluctant to exert maximum effort in grip force evaluation. Repeated tests after short rest periods will determine if a patient is exerting maximum effort,
1. Test grip in the usual manner taking readings with the hand grip in each position of the dynamometer.
2. Test the normal hand, followed by the injured hand. Allow the patient to see the readings.
3. After about five minutes, repeat the test.
Usually, if the patient has carried out the test with full effort, there will be less than 10% variation in results for various grip positions. However, it the patient has not exerted maximum effort, there will be a larger, inconsistent variation between the tests.
| Features |
- Dual-Scale Readout - Displays grip force in pounds and kilograms 200 pounds or 90 kilograms maximum reading.
- Peak-Hold Needle - For convenience and ease of recording, it automatically retains the highest reading on the peak-hold needle. That reading will remain on the gauge until it is reset.
- Accurate and Reproducible - It is isometric in use, with almost no perceptible motion of the handles, regardless of grip strength. This ensures accurate, reproducible results.
- Adjustable Handle - To accommodate various size hands, the handle adjusts to five grip positions: from 1 3/8" to 3 3/8", in half inch increments.
- Since grip strength may also vary in an individual patient; this feature allows therapists to quantify grip strength for different size objects.

Saehan SH5005 Pinch GaugeUser Instructions[Read More]
[Read Less]
The SAEHAN Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is used for hand-strength testing by measuring tip, key and palmar pinch.
The Pinch Gauge can be used as a diagnostic tool, or for monitoring the progress of rehabilitation.
Pinch force is measured in pounds and kilograms (45 lbs or 20kg. Maximum reading) on a dual scale. It is held by the therapist, not the patient.
The patient should apply pressure the pinch block with the finger pads or finger tips. Pressing the pinch button with the thumb causes the force reading to appear on the gauge.
The position of the upper extremities can significantly affect pinch-strength measurement.
| Recommended testing positions | Pinch Styles |
- 1. Patient should be seated.
- 2. Shoulders should be adducted and neutrally rotated.
- 3. Elbow should be flexed at 90 degrees.
- 4. Forearm and wrist should be in a neutral position.
- 5. Tolerance of degree is ±2%
- 6. When you dispose of this unit, it may leak oil.
|
- 1. Tip Pinch -- thumb tip to index fingertip.
- 2. Key Pinch -- thumb pad to lateral aspect of middle phalanx of index finger.
- 3. Palmar Pinch -- thumb pad to pads of index and middle fingers.
- Limited Two-Year Warranty
