HYDRAULIC

 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 pub-

lished Baseline

and Jamar

studies.

 Maximum reading remains until the

unit is reset.

 The strength reading can be viewed

as pounds or kilograms.

 Portable measuring unit comes with

rugged carrying case.

 1-year manufacturers warrantee.

 CE certified.
