MicroFET HandGrip Digital Grip Strength Dynamometer w/ Clinic and Data Collection Software
One grip dynamometer, two software packages — ready for the clinic and the lab.
The MicroFET HandGRIP digital grip strength dynamometer with clinic and data software is the complete grip testing system. It pairs a precision load cell dynamometer with both of Hoggan's software packages, included in the box. Use the Clinic Software for patient tracking, comparison statistics and narrative and graphic reports, then switch to the Data Collection Software to capture raw data with a real-time graph and export it as CSV. Four built-in grip tests — maximum, 5-position, rapid exchange and fatigue — cover routine screening, ongoing evaluations and research protocols alike.
Key benefits
- Both software packages included: Clinic Software and Data Collection Software, no add-ons to buy later.
- Clinical documentation: patient tracking, analysis, comparison statistics, and narrative and graphic reports.
- Research data capture: raw test data with a live graph, saved in CSV for spreadsheet analysis.
- Four grip tests in one unit: maximum grip, 5-position grip, rapid exchange grip (REG) and hand fatigue grip.
- Load cell accuracy: within 1% of reading, 0.1 lb resolution, no hydraulic oil to leak.
- 0–200 lb capacity: results in pounds (lb), kilograms-force (kgf) or Newtons (N).
- Wireless or standalone: Bluetooth to either program, or test on its own with the LCD and 30-test memory.
- Rechargeable and covered: 3.7 V lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, carrying case and a 3-year standard warranty.

Clinic Software is an easy-to-use platform with muscle testing and spinal range of motion protocols. It collects patient tracking, analysis and comparison statistics, and generates narrative and graphic reports for charts, referrals and payers.
Data Collection Software captures raw test data while displaying a real-time graph. Each session saves as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets and most statistics programs.

Frequently asked questions
Which software comes with this version? Both. MicroFET Clinic Software and FET Data Collection Software are included.
Why would I need both programs? Clinic Software handles patient records, comparison statistics and reports. Data Collection Software captures raw force data with a live graph for research or teaching. Together they cover care and study with one device.
What does the Clinic Software include? Muscle testing and spinal range of motion protocols, patient tracking, analysis, comparison statistics, and narrative and graphic reports.
What file format does the Data Collection Software save? Comma-separated values (CSV), which opens in most spreadsheet programs.
Can I use the HandGRIP without a computer? Yes. It works standalone with an LCD display and stores up to 30 tests.
What grip tests can it perform? Four: maximum grip, 5-position grip, rapid exchange grip and fatigue grip.
What warranty is included? A 3-year standard warranty.
