Hand Held Dynamometer

admin — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:54:17 +0000

The new Hand Held Dynamometer (HHD) System 01165 is an ergonomic hand-held device for objectively quantifying muscle strength.
The test is performed with the clinician applying force to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to overcome or “break” the patient’s resistance. The HHD records the peak force and the time required to achieve the “break” providing reliable, accurate, and stable muscle strength readings that conform to most manual muscle testing protocols.
The HHD also features interactive menus to allow a wide range of options such as data storage, preset test times and force thresholds to be implemented. While powerful and versatile, the HHD is still small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. Its ergonomic design allows for both patient and tester comfort while easily conforming to manual muscle testing protocols.
The HHD uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a battery life of 6 hrs when powered on and has a range of 0-135kg (300lb/1335N) with an accuracy of ± 1 % over full scale. It is supplied with three easy to change molded plastic stirrups with pads, a power supply/charger, sturdy carry case and a Calibration Certificate. It is microprocessor controlled with an easy to read graphical LCD display with data storage for up to 150 tests in on-board memory.

Gollehon Extendable Goniometer

admin — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:06:29 +0000

Versatility, Reliability, Accuracy and Portability are the advantages that make the Gollehon Extendable Goniometer an innovative tool in the assessment of range of motion. Its arms can extend to 28.00″ to measure large joints and retract to 8.0″ to measure all but the smallest joints. Unlike standard goniometers that require the examiner to estimate alignment, the length of the extendable arms allows it to lie over anatomical bony landmarks. The dual scale of 0° – 180° and 180° – 0° is magnified four times, improving the accuracy of the reading, thus, reducing the chance for error. The Extendable Goniometer is affordable, costing little more than standard goniometers. Its lightweight ABS plastic construction will ensure continued and long lasting use. The Extendable Goniometer features a Dual Scale, 1 Degree Increments, Extendable and Retractable Arms, Magnified Reading Window, as well as a Compact, Lightweight and Portable Design.
