Purpose / Intended Use
The purpose of this Medical Device is to measure a patient’s grip
strength. It can be used to evaluate initial and ongoing impacts
of hand trauma and dysfunction. The Baseline Hydraulic Hand
Dynamometer can be used to measure isometric force and peak
strength with ve adjustable grip positions. This helps track
strength and rehabilitation over time and is ideal for physical
therapy professionals.
How to Use
Set handle to comfortable grip for patient. Reset max indicator
to zero. Have patient squeeze with maximum force, note reading.
Reset to zero for next test.
Components
• Machined aluminum handle, post and body
• Bronze bellows
• Stainless steel hydraulic tubing
• Teon bushings
• Non-toxic mechanical hydraulic pump uid
• Digital Gauge
Accuracy greater than 97%.
Data
The Baseline® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer with Digital
LCD Gauge can utilize some of data pertaining to the Jamar®
Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer. The internal workings of both are
hydraulic and bellows-operated.

Norms for Adult Grip Strength
A recent study by Dr. Virgil Mathiowetz indicates that“... individuals using the Baseline®
dynamometer are justied 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 with the 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 of men vs. hand strength of women
• dominant hand strength vs. non-dominant hand strength
