The Baseline Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is designed to provide an accurate and convenient tool for measuring hand strength, allowing therapists to easily and effectively measure a patient™s pinch ability in tip, key, and palmer pinch tests. These gauges use hydraulic power to perform objective measurements, facilitating the creation of individualized treatment plans that are more effective and tailor-made for the unique needs and specifications of each user. Highly-accurate, these gauges ensure recordings are easy to take and measurements are fully reproducible for maximum result reliability that aids therapists in tracking patient progress.
These gauges can be used for tip, key and Palmer testing, and the maximum reading remains until the unit is reset enabling easy comparison of each reading against the max. These gauges are made in USA and the results are consistent with published Baseline and Jamar studies. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. Each unit comes in a protective carrying case.
