Ametek Chatillon Medical Dynamometers

Ametek Chatillon hand-held gauges are a faster, more accurate, and highly portable way to measure muscle strength, job task requirements, and functional capacity.

They work almost anywhere to analyze and document force output, giving you the same basic data as large, stationary isokinetic dynamometers, but typically at less than a tenth of the cost. Which is why they have so rapidly gained in popularity among therapists, ergonomists, and medical practitioners.

These precision instruments are available in both economical dial-type and digital models; the latter displays test results on an LCD and retains the data in memory for later recall. Where desired, data can even be sent out through a bidirectional port on most models to PC computer storage.

Job Task Analysis and Functional Evaluation

Ametek Chatillon gauges and dynamometers let you accurately measure the push, pull, or lift forces needed to complete a job task, then test the employee's capacity for performing that task. They're ideally suited for A.D.A. compliance, ergonomic analysis, and workplace engineering. And, because they're completely portable, you can conduct the tests wherever it's best -- in the clinic, at the office, in the plant, or out in the field.

Available Models

Ametek Chatillon Medical Dynamometers are supplied in a foam cushioned carrying case with the instrument's complete set of attachments and, for digital units, a NiCad battery recharger.

With all digital models, data stored in memory can be exported to computer via the dynamometer's built-in RS232 port. All come with rechargeable NiCad batteries and recharger.
