Description

Key Features:

  • Digital Readout: This model features a clear, digital LCD screen that displays pinch strength in pounds and kilograms. This provides a more precise and easily recorded measurement compared to traditional analog gauges.

  • Peak-Hold and Electronic Storage: It automatically holds the highest reading achieved during the test, allowing the clinician to easily record the maximum force. Some versions may also have the ability to store multiple readings for tracking a patient's progress.

  • Versatile Testing: The gauge is designed to measure three different types of pinch strength:

    • Tip Pinch: Between the thumb and the index finger.

    • Key Pinch: Between the thumb and the lateral side of the index finger.

    • Palmar Pinch: Between the thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

  • Ergonomic and Portable: The gauge is lightweight and has a design that makes it comfortable to hold and use. Its small size allows it to be easily transported in a kit or between different clinic rooms.

  • Accuracy: The Jamar Plus+ is calibrated to meet industry standards for accuracy, which is crucial for reliable clinical and research data.

Uses:

The Jamar Plus+ Hand Pinch Gauge is an essential tool in several professional settings:

  • Occupational and Physical Therapy: It is a standard tool for assessing a patient's hand function after injury, surgery, or due to a chronic condition. Therapists use the gauge to establish a baseline for pinch strength and to track a patient's progress in rehabilitation.

  • Hand Surgery: Surgeons and their teams use the gauge to evaluate a patient's hand function before and after surgery to assess the effectiveness of the procedure.

  • Research and Academia: Due to its accuracy and digital data, the gauge is widely used in research studies related to hand function, dexterity, and rehabilitation outcomes.

  • Ergonomics: It can be used by ergonomists to assess pinch strength in workers, which can help in designing safer workplaces and preventing repetitive strain injuries.
