3 Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer Usage Set handle to comfortable grip for patient. Re-set max indicator to zero. Have patient squeeze with maximum force, note reading. Re-set to zero for next test Calibration The Baseline hand dynamometer is a sealed unit and calibrated at the factory. However, if indicator needle is out of zero-range it may be reset. Remove the clear cover by turning counter clockwise. Adjustment pin located by 90 Kg marking. Turn pink to reset to zero. If unit is leaking hydraulic fluid it should be returned to the factory for repair and recalibration Components Machined aluminum handle, post and body Bronze bellows Stainless steel hydraulic tubing Teflon bushings Non-toxic mechanical hydraulic pump fluid Gauge- Bourdon tube element with spring suspended movement. Constructed to ASME B 40.1 standards. Accuracy better the 98%. Data The Baseline hand dynamometer can utilize the large amount of data pertaining to the Jamar hand dynamometer. The Internal Workings of both are hydraulic and bellows operated.

4 Norms for Adult Grip Strength A recent study by Dr. Virgil Mathiowetz indicates that... individuals using the Baseline dynamometer are justified in using the normative data collected with the Jamar dynamometer... For each test of grip strength, the subject was seated with shoulder adducted and neutrally rotated, elbow between 0 and 15 ulnar deviation. The standard test protocol used the mean of three strength tests as a resultant score. A score was taken with both the dominant (right) and non-dominant (left) hands. The rest results show a relationship between: hand strength vs. age hand strength vs. hand strength of women dominant hand strength vs. non dominate hand strength Average Performance of all Subjects on Grip Strength (pounds)- Test results Men Women Mean SD SE ow High Age Hand Mean SD SE ow High R R R R R R R R R R R 75+ R All Subjects References: 1.
