Description
Key Features:
Digital Readout: Unlike the traditional hydraulic models, the Jamar Plus+ features a clear, digital LCD screen that displays the grip strength reading. This eliminates the need for manual interpretation of a needle gauge and provides more precise and easily recorded data.
Peak-Hold and Electronic Storage: It retains the highest grip strength reading until the next measurement is taken. Some models also have the capability to store multiple readings electronically, which is useful for tracking progress over a therapy session or a series of appointments.
Ergonomic and Lightweight Design: The dynamometer has an ergonomic handle that is comfortable to hold and fits a wide range of hand sizes. The entire unit is lightweight, making it easy to use for extended periods.
Adjustable Handle: Like other Jamar dynamometers, the handle can be adjusted to five different grip positions to accommodate various hand sizes and to test strength at different angles.
Compliance with Standards: The Jamar Plus+ is calibrated to meet or exceed relevant industry standards for accuracy, ensuring that the data collected is reliable for clinical and research purposes.
Uses:
The Jamar Plus+ Hand Dynamometer is an essential tool in a variety of professional settings:
Physical and Occupational Therapy: It is widely used by therapists to perform a baseline assessment of a patient's grip strength and to track their progress during rehabilitation from injuries to the hand, wrist, or arm.
Research: Due to its accuracy and data storage capabilities, this model is a common tool in research studies related to hand function, muscular strength, and rehabilitation outcomes.
Ergonomics: It is used by ergonomists to assess the grip strength of workers to help design safer workspaces and prevent repetitive strain injuries.
Sports Medicine: Coaches and trainers may use the dynamometer to evaluate an athlete's grip strength as part of a performance evaluation and to monitor progress in strength-building programs.
