MicroFET HandGRIP Digital Grip Strength Dynamometer w/ Clinic Software
Test grip strength, then let the software do the math and the paperwork.
The MicroFET HandGRIP digital grip strength dynamometer with clinical software pairs a precision load cell grip tester with Hoggan's MicroFET Clinical Software, included in the box. Run maximum, 5-position, rapid exchange and fatigue grip tests, then send results wirelessly to your computer for automatic calculations, validity checks and professional reports. It's built for clinics that do routine grip strength screening and ongoing evaluations — and would rather not hand-chart every number.
Key benefits
- Clinical software included: automatic calculations, effort validity checks, patient tracking and printable reports.
- 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, with no hydraulic oil to leak or wear out.
- Wireless or standalone: send data over Bluetooth, or test away from the computer using the LCD readout and 30-test memory.
- 0–200 lb capacity: results in pounds (lb), kilograms-force (kgf) or Newtons (N).
- Rechargeable power: 3.7 V lithium-ion battery with AC adapter and auto shut-off.
- Research-ready upgrade path: add FET Data Collection Software (sold separately) for raw data export.
- Protected and covered: carrying case and a 3-year standard warranty.
What the clinical software adds
The included MicroFET Clinical Software turns raw grip readings into documentation you can put in a chart or send to a payer.
- Automatic calculations and validity checks — no hand math for averages, side-to-side deficits or effort consistency.
- Tables and graphs generated from each testing session.
- Session and comparison reports in narrative and graphic formats, so progress between visits is easy to show.
- Patient tracking to store results and compare them over time.
- Built-in positioning pictures that show proper gauge and patient setup for consistent testing.
- Windows compatible (Windows XP or newer, per the manufacturer).

|
Maximum grip |
Peak grip force in a single effort |
Averages trials and calculates left/right deficit |
|
5-position grip |
Force across all five handle positions |
Plots the bell-curve profile used to judge consistency of effort |
|
Rapid exchange grip (REG) |
Force during fast, alternating left/right grips |
Compares REG to static grip for effort validity |
|
Fatigue grip |
Force decline over a sustained or repeated grip |
Graphs the fatigue curve for endurance documentation |

- Physical therapy and rehabilitation practices tracking strength across a plan of care.
- Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) providers who rely on 5-position and rapid exchange results for effort validity.
- Workers' compensation and occupational health teams producing objective, defensible reports.
- Geriatric and primary care clinics screening grip strength as a frailty marker.
- Multi-provider clinics that want consistent testing and one shared record of results.
Frequently asked questions
Is the clinical software included? Yes. MicroFET Clinical Software comes in the box. FET Data Collection Software is sold separately.
What's the difference between the clinical and data collection software? Clinical software is for patient documentation: calculations, validity checks, patient tracking and reports. Data collection software is for research: real-time graphing and raw data export.
Do I need a computer to use it? No. The HandGRIP works standalone with its LCD display and stores up to 30 tests. Connect to the software over Bluetooth when you want reports.
What computers does the software run on? Windows computers (Windows XP or newer, per the manufacturer).
What grip tests can it perform? Four: maximum grip, 5-position grip, rapid exchange grip and fatigue grip.
How is a digital dynamometer better than a hydraulic one? A load cell sensor reads within 1% of actual force and has no hydraulic oil to leak or seals to wear out.
What warranty is included? A 3-year standard warranty.
