Description
Key Features:
Hydraulic System: The dynamometer uses a sealed hydraulic system to measure grip force. This design provides accurate and reproducible readings and is known for its durability.
Dual-Scale Readout: The gauge on the dynamometer features a dual scale that displays measurements in both pounds and kilograms, accommodating different user preferences and clinical standards.
Peak-Hold Needle: This is a crucial feature for data collection. The peak-hold needle automatically retains the highest reading achieved during the grip test, even after the patient releases their grip. This allows the clinician to record the maximum force without having to watch the gauge in real-time.
Adjustable Handle: The handle can be adjusted to five different grip positions. This allows the clinician to measure grip strength at various angles and accommodate a wide range of hand sizes, ensuring the measurement is relevant to the individual.
Isometric Design: The design ensures that there is virtually no perceptible motion in the handle during the test, regardless of the grip strength applied. This provides a true isometric measurement of force.
Durable Construction: The unit is built to withstand repeated use in a clinical environment. It often comes with a shock-resistant rubber cap to protect the gauge.
Uses:
The Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer is a standard and essential tool in several professional settings:
Physical and Occupational Therapy: Therapists use the dynamometer to perform routine screenings of grip strength. It is a fundamental tool for evaluating initial hand strength and for tracking a patient's progress in rehabilitation from hand trauma, surgery, or dysfunction.
Research and Academia: Due to its accuracy and reliability, the Jamar dynamometer is a widely accepted tool in research studies related to hand function, muscular strength, and anthropometry.
Ergonomics and Workplace Safety: It is used by ergonomists to assess the grip strength of workers, which can help in designing safer workplaces and preventing repetitive strain injuries.
Sports Medicine: Coaches and trainers may use the dynamometer to assess an athlete's grip strength as part of a comprehensive performance evaluation.
