The hydraulic Pinch Gauge is used for hand-strength testing by measuring tip, key and palmer pinch. It can be used as a diagnostic tool or for monitoring the rehabilitation progress.
The pinch force is measured in pounds and kilograms. 45 lbs (20 kg) maximum reading on a dual scale.
This pinch gauge uses the improved hydraulic system of the hand dynamometer to assure convenience, product reliability, and measurement accuracy and repeatability. Quality product made in Korea.
It includes normative data for both females and males in pounds and kilograms for the tip, key and palmar pinch. Complete with plastic carrying case.
The mechanical pinch gauge has a 30 pound capacity. Unit has a blue body. The pinch gauge allows for measure tip, key and palmer pinch strength in both pounds and kilograms. Measurements are accurate and repeatable. This pinch gauge is made in USA and results are consistent with published Markowitz studies. Maximum force indicator remains at the maximum reading until reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms.
The mechanical pinch gauge has a 60 pound capacity. Unit has a red body. The pinch gauge allows for measure tip, key and palmer pinch strength in both pounds and kilograms. Measurements are accurate and repeatable. This pinch gauge is made in USA and results are consistent with published Markowitz studies. Maximum force indicator remains at the maximum reading until reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms.
