This hand-held dynamometer lets you objectively measure manual muscle strength and functional task requirements for almost any application. Offers full portability and ease of use for a fraction of the cost of expensive computer controlled systems.

Available in 200 lbf and 500 lbf capacities, these rugged mechanical instruments accurately measure (±0.5% FS) instantaneous push or pull forces generated by the test subject. A calibrated dial shows instantaneous force. An easy-to-use peak force switch freezes the pointer at the maximum force for simple identification and analysis. Gauges come complete with attachments for both job task analysis and muscle strength testing.

Applications

• Physical Medicine
  Accurately measure and document musculoskeletal strength to determine patient condition and serially track progress. Evaluate individual muscle groups in flexion/extension, enternal/external rotation, plantar flexion, dorsi flexion and abduction/adduction
• Occupational medicine
  Conduct job task analysis, ergonomic analysis, and ADA compliance evaluations. Measure actual push, pull and lift forces of a particular job task, then quantitatively evaluate an individuals ability to perform each task. Ensure an employees ability to work following an injury.
• Sports Medicine
  Objectively quantify an athletes muscoskeletal force output. Evaluate and document the effectiveness of a prescribed training program. Serially track each patients progress.
