Pinch Strength Tests

Paired with the E-LINK software, the Pinchmeter allows you to quickly and accurately conduct a range of tests. These include a Standard Peak Force Test, and a Sustained Test, both of which cannot be undertaken with a manual device.

Standard Peak Force Pinch Test

This test can be taken for the key, three jaw and tip to tip positions. Three trials per position can be recorded and the software automatically calculates the average Pinch measurement and the co-efficient of variation percentage as an indication of the measurement consistency. Single measurements of Thumb to Digit Opposition can also be entered for each digit.

Sustained Pinch Test

This test measures force over time for a 5, 10, 15 or 30 sec interval. Peak force, time to reach peak force, average to peak ratio percentage (sustainability) and fatigue rate are automatically calculated and immediately displayed. The current graph can be compared with a prior test to analyze progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does the Pinchmeter measure pinch strength? 

    The Pinchmeter measures pinch strength from 0.1kg/lb to a maximum of 22kg (50lbs). Its unique low-profile design permits measurements closer to the end range, offering greater accuracy than other manual or electronic devices. 

  • What kind of exercises can I perform with the Pinchmeter? 

    The Pinchmeter offers a variety of exercises such as zero to peak force exercises, exercises within patient limitations, and exercises varying in force and time. This range allows the rehabilitation process to be tailored to specific job or daily living goals. It also includes exercises suitable for patients with arthritis or spasticity, where low force on the joints is desirable. 

  • How can I track progress with the Pinchmeter? 

    The Pinchmeter provides Progress Reports for up to 10 tests, presenting the data in both graphical and tabular formats. These reports automatically calculate and display the percentage of change from one session to another, from the first test, and in comparison to standard norms. Helping you to easily track progress over time.
