The grip strength dynamometer clinicians reach for first
The Baseline HiRes Gauge Hand Dynamometer is the ideal instrument for measuring grip strength and hand strength, and for evaluating patients with hand trauma or dysfunction. Its isometric design delivers accurate readings without the subject being able to "feel" the handle move – so effort, not technique, determines the result.
Reading results is effortless: the generous 3.5" diameter high-resolution dial displays force in both pounds and kilograms, and the maximum reading stays visible until the unit is reset. The five-position adjustable handle accommodates a wide range of hand sizes and yields results consistent with published Baseline and Jamar normative studies.
Solid, sturdy, and built to last for years – yet only 5 lbs – this blue, American-made hand dynamometer is a long-standing favorite of physical therapy clinics, occupational therapists, and hand therapy specialists. A protective carrying case makes it easy to travel between treatment rooms, home visits, and screening events.
