The 12-0112 Baseline Digital Hand Evaluation Set with portable carrying case contains all instruments necessary to evaluate the strength and range-of-motion of the hand and fingers. The Baseline Hand evaluation set includes hydraulic hand dynamometer, hydraulic pinch gauge, and a six inch stainless steel goniometer.

The 300 lb. (135 kg) digital hand dynamometer uses a hydraulic system with the added advantage of an LCD display. The digital hand dynamometer includes an electronic zero calibration system, 2 AAA batteries, a low battery light, and an automatic shut off. Additional features include a push button console with a button to zero, last maximum reading stored in memory, a maximum button to display the highest reading, and a lb./kg. toggle.

The 100 lb. (45 kg.) digital pinch gauge uses a hydraulic system with the added advantage of an easy-to-read LCD display. Features include an electronic zero calibration system, 2 AAA batteries, a low battery light, and an automatic shut off. Push button console includes a button to zero the last maximum reading stored in memory, a maximum button to display the highest reading since the last press of the maximum clear button, and a lb./kg. toggle button to change the measurement reading.

Stainless steel goniometer measures range-of-motion of finger joints (metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal) and other small joints including toes. Head has two opposing 180 degree scales marked in 5 degree increments. A linear scale in inches and centimeters is on the arm. Deluxe model has larger head for more accurate reading.

Digital Hand Evaluation Kit

• Evaluates the strength and range-of-motion of the hand and fingers.
• Baseline Hydraulic Digital Grip Hand Dynamometer- 300 lb
• Baseline extended range digital hydraulic pinch gauge - 100 lb
• Baseline stainless steel finger goniometer, 6 inches
• Rugged carrying case included
• Baseline dynamometers and pinch gauges have been manufactured in the USA since 1978.
• Maximum reading remains until the unit is reset for dynamometer and pinch gauge.
• The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms for dynamometer and pinch gauge.
• CE certified.

Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer

• Baseline hydraulic hand dynamometer gives accurate grip strength readings without the subject being able to feel the handle move.
• Internationally accepted design ensures reliability, user convenience and measurement repeatability.
• The Baseline hand dynamometer is engineered to be durable, so it will last for years and years. The 2006 model uses new technology to create stronger parts.
• Five position adjustable handle and body design yield results that are consistent with published Baseline and Jamar studies.

Hydraulic Pinch Gauge

• The Baseline hydraulic pinch gauge uses the hydraulic system of the hand dynamometer to assure convenience, product reliability and measurement accuracy and repeatability.
• The therapist can support the pinch gauge during testing. This yields a more accurate result for all pinch tests including tip, key and palmer.
• The results are consistent with published Baseline and Jamar studies.

Goniometer

• Measures range-of-motion of finger joints and other small joints.
• Head has two opposing 180 degree scales marked in 5 degree increments.
• Linear scale in inches and centimeters.
• Deluxe, 6 inch stainless steel finger goniometer

How to use the Dynamometer

• Set the handle to the desired position. Have subject hold the dynamometer in a comfortable position.
• The shoulder should be adducted and neutrally rotated, the elbow flexed to 90 degrees, and the forearm and wrist should be in a neutral position.
• Have the subject squeeze the handle using his/her maximum effort.
• The red maximum pointer will remain at the subject's maximum reading until it is reset.
• The red maximum pointer must be reset before each grip test.
• Rotate the small knurled knob on top of the dial indicator in a counterclockwise direction until it rests against the black pointer at the zero marking.
• Each grip test should be repeated three times and the average result should be used.
• Grip strength varies depending upon the size of the object being grasped. The adjustable handle allows for quantification of grip strength for different sized objects.
• Take readings with adjustable handle in all five positions
• Test the normal hand and then the injured hand
• Repeat the test after five minutes

How to use the Finger Goniometer

• Align the fulcrum of the goniometer with the anatomical fulcrum of the joint being measured.
• Place the flat arm of goniometer that is attached to the dial indicator on the center of the limb (or extremity) to be measured.
• Hold both arms of the goniometer and move the joint through its entire range-of-motion (this can be done actively by the subject or passively by the examiner.)
• The range of motion can be read directly from the dial indicator.
