The
Pinch/Grip Analyser measures both hand grip finger 'key
grip' pinch performance. The handle is made from a
special lightweight but stiff aerospace alloy and is
adjustable to accommodate all hand sizes and fixed
flexion deformities. MIE's patented design overcomes any
leverage effects when gripping the handle, so that the
measured force is the same, irrespective of hand
position. Finger strength can therefore be measured when
the handles are adjusted to their minimum separation.
The therapist is able to support the entire weight of the
handle to administer tests on particularly frail
subjects.
- Objective measurement of Grip
strength and endurance.
- Finger Pinch Strength and
Endurance.
- Provides true force values in
Newton's, kilograms or pounds.
- Connects to PC computer for
detailed analysis and real time biofeedback.
- Accurate to one Newton across
the whole physiological range.

The
myometer is a multi-force analyser for measuring the
magnitude of isometric contractions of many muscle
groups. The transducer measures force which is
automatically converted by the software to the more
useful measure of torque (Nm) about a joint. The
calculation of torque is made from a simple measurement
of the lever arm length during the test set-up procedure
and ensures that the data are presented in standard
meaningful units of measurement.
- Objective measurement of
muscle strength and endurance.
- Calculates data as a standard
value of torque.
- Multi-functional for many
different muscle groups.
- Connects to a PC computer for
detailed analysis.
- Real time bio-feedback.
- Accurate to one Newton across
the whole physiological range.
