Baseline Pinch Gauge - Hydraulic - 5-Level Pinch Clinic Mode - 50 lb Capacity

The Baseline Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is designed for accurate and repeatable measurement of pinch strength and hand strength in clinical settings. This versatile tool is equipped with a 5-level pinch clinic mode, offering precise evaluations for healthcare professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists.

Key Features:

• 5-Level Pinch Clinic Mode: The gauge is configured to face the clinician, enabling precise pinch strength measurements in a clinical environment.
• Adjustable Handle: Fits all hand sizes, providing consistent and repeatable results. The easy-to-adjust paddle accommodates any hand size, ensuring a more accurate measurement compared to gauges with only one pinch width.
• Multiple Pinch Test Protocols: Supports MVE (Maximum Voluntary Effort) and MMVE (Maximum Mean Voluntary Effort) protocols, offering versatility in tip pinch, palmar pinch, and key pinch tests.
• Hydraulic Technology: Ensures reliable and consistent measurements across all five pinch positions, giving medical professionals valuable data for patient evaluation.
• Standard Pinch Width: Without the paddle, the gauge offers a standard pinch width, comparable to other mechanical and hydraulic pinch gauges.

Why It’s Useful:

This hydraulic pinch gauge is essential for evaluating hand strength and pinch strength in patients recovering from hand injuries, surgeries, or conditions like arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. Its adjustable design allows for precise measurements tailored to individual patients, enhancing the accuracy of rehabilitation and treatment plans.

Who Uses This Device?

• Physical Therapists: To measure pinch strength and track hand function throughout rehabilitation programs.
• Occupational Therapists: To assess hand strength in patients needing to regain functionality for daily tasks after surgery or injury.
• Rehabilitation Specialists: To monitor patient progress using the MVE and MMVE protocols for more targeted therapy.

The Baseline Hydraulic Pinch Gauge with 5-level pinch clinic mode is an invaluable tool for healthcare professionals, offering precision and adaptability in assessing pinch strength. Its versatile design and reliable measurements ensure optimal patient care and recovery progress tracking.
