Handgrip Dynamometer

Handgrip and Pinch Force Dynamometer
for Noraxon cable and telemetry systems

• Easy detection of handgrip force
• Special area for pinch force measure
• Very solid and durable construction
• Noraxon plug-in compatibility

The combined handgrip/pinch dynamometer manufactured by Vernier, Canada is the perfect tool for a quantitative measure of handgrip force or pinch force in clinical settings. It works in a measurement range from 0-135 lb-F (0 to 600N). The sensor does not require any setup calibration and has plug-in functionality for the MyoSystem 1400A/L, the TeleMyo System 2400 and the NEW hand-held system MyoTrace 400.

The durable and solid built sensor can be used both for measurements and biofeedback training of handgrip and pinch force.

The sensor has a predefined measurement setup configuration in all the Noraxon software packages and is operational in a few seconds:

Application Examples

The isometric handgrip dynamometer can be used in a variety of application areas (e.g. ergonomics, sports science, medical and clinical research). Grip force may also be used in investigations for elderly people, fatigue studies, disability assessment for neurologi-cal patient and combined measurements of force and EMG.

Handgrip measurement

The handgrip sensor is plugged into any analog input channel of the Noraxon cable or telemetry system, auto-calibrated and ready to measure.

Pinch force measurement

A special contact area allows the measure-ment of pinch force with the same device.
