Saehan SH5001 Hand Dynamometer

Saehan SH5001 Hand Dynamometer

The purpose of using a hand dynamometer is to measure the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles.  Grip strength can be positively related to bone mineral density, or osteoporosis, increased mortality from cardiovascular disease, frailty and disability.

The Saehan SH5001 Hand Dynamometer offers numerous features for standard screening work, as well as for assessing hand trauma and disease.

Saehan SH5001 Hand Dynamometer features:

Dual-Scale Readout

• Displays grip force in pounds and kilograms 200 pounds or 90 kilograms maximum reading.

Peak-Hold Needle

• For convenience and ease of recording, it automatically retains the highest reading on the peak–hold needle. That reading will remain on the gauge until it is reset.

Accurate and Reproducible

• It is isometric in use, with almost no perceptible motion of the handles, regardless of grip strength. This ensures accurate, reproducible results.

Adjustable Handle

• To accommodate various size hands, the handle adjusts to five grip positions: from 1 3/8" to 3 3/8", in half –inch increments. Since grip strength may also vary in an individual patient; this feature allows therapists to quantify grip strength for different size objects.

Saehan SH5001 Hand Dynamometer comes complete with a calibration Certificate Traceable to National Standards when purchased new.
