Baseline® Hydraulic Hand Dynamometers
and Pinch Gauges
Baseline® hand dynamometers give accurate grip strength readings without the subject being able to "feel" the handle move. The results are consistent with the published Baseline and Jamar® studies. The internationally accepted design assures reliability, user convenience and measurement repeatability. The five position adjustable handle can accommodate any hand size. The maximum reading remains until the unit is reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. Each dynamometer comes in a molded carrying case. The unit is made in the USA, has a 3-year warrantee and is CE certified.
The 200 lb. (90kg.) Baseline hand dynamometer is available with a standard or large dial gauge. The large dial has more measurement gradations and is easier to read. The 300 lb. (135kg.) Baseline hand dynamometer is only available with a large dial.
The 300 lb. (135 kg.) digital Baseline hydraulic hand dynamometer uses the same hydraulic system but has the added advantage of an easy-to-read LCD display. The digital version features an electronic zero calibration system that decreases the need for factory recalibrations, a power management system that assures at least 1000 hours of use without changing the 2 "AAA" batteries, a low battery light, and an automatic shut off. Push button console includes a button to zero the last maximum reading stored in memory, a maximum button to display the highest reading since the last press of the maximum clear button, and a lb./kg. toggle button to change the measurement reading.
Available Models

Baseline® hydraulic pinch gauges use the improved 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 (tip, key and palmer). The results are consistent with the published Baseline and Jamar® studies. The maximum reading remains until the unit is reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. Each dynamometer comes in a rugged carrying case. The unit is made in the USA, has a 3-year warrantee and is CE certified.
The 50 lb. (22.5kg.) Baseline pinch gauge is available with a standard or large dial gauge. The large dial has more measurement gradations and is easier to read. The 95 lb. (42.5kg.) Baseline pinch gauge is only available with a large dial gauge.
The 100 lb. (45 kg.) digital Baseline hydraulic pinch gauge uses the same hydraulic system but has the added advantage of an easy-to-read LCD display. Digital version features an electronic zero calibration system that decreases the need for factory recalibrations, a power management system that assures at least 1000 hours of use without changing the 2 "AAA" batteries, a low battery light, and an automatic shut off. Push button console includes a button to zero the last maximum reading stored in memory, a maximum button to display the highest reading since the last press of the maximum clear button, and a lb./kg. toggle button to change the measurement reading.

3-Piece Hand Evaluation Sets
Portable carrying case contains all instruments necessary to evaluate the strength and range-of-motion of the hand and fingers. Set includes hydraulic hand dynamometer (12-0240, 12-0243, 12-0246 or 12-0247), hydraulic pinch gauge (12-0235, 12-0239, 12-0228 or 12-0237) and stainless steel goniometer (12-1010).
Dial - dynamometer/pinch gauge
12-0103 - standard dial 200lb./50lb.
12-0105 - large dial 200lb./50lb.
12-0110 - large dial 300lb./95lb.
Digital - dynamometer/pinch gauge
12-0112 - digital LCD 300lb./100lb.
7-Piece Hand Evaluation Sets
Instruments needed for a full hand evaluation are stored in case. Grip strength is measured by the hydraulic hand dynamometer (12-0240, 12-0243, 12-0246 or 12-0247) and pinch strength by the 30 lb. (12-0200) or 60 lb. (12-0201) mechanical pinch gauge. Other measurements are made with the stainless steel goniometer (12-1010), 2-point discriminator with 3rd point (12-1481), Wartenburg pinwheel (12-1450), finger circumference gauge (12-1220) and functional finger motion gauge (12-1060).
Dial - dynamometer/pinch gauge
12-0100 - standard dial 200lb./30lb.
12-0104 - large dial 200lb./30lb.
12-0111 - large dial 300lb./60lb.
Digital - dynamometer/pinch gauge
