Measuring Muscle Strength with Medical Dynamometers

Medical dynamometers can accurately measure an individual’s muscle power and strength. It is a useful tool that provides baseline measurements to help determine any dysfunction or underlying medical issues that need to be addressed.

Dynamometers are essential tools for physicians and occupational therapists when subjecting a patient to a functional capacity evaluation or FCE. Issues such as muscle, bone or nerve damage can be identified as patients test their physical limits while applying as much tolerable force as they can through the measurement device.

After finishing a series of tests using a dynamometer, recommendations for allowable workloads or modifications to physical working conditions can then be made to prevent further aggravation or complication of any observed injuries. FCEs are also essential in determining whether an individual qualifies for workers’ compensation or disability benefits.

Aside from providing initial baseline measurements, medical dynamometers allow physicians, physiotherapists, sports scientists and other healthcare professionals evaluate the progression of therapy and rehabilitation treatments.

Professional and amateur athletes can use medical dynamometers to progressively measure the effectiveness of their training regimen. Selecting the right type of medical dynamometer allows you to measure different muscle groups and target which ones need further improvement.

TTM Advanced Hand Dynamometer

The TTM Advanced Hand Dynamometer is based on the popular Smedley spring design, which is known for its durability and ease of use. This type of hand dynamometer has been successfully used for many decades in medical and research institutions, and clinics worldwide and has proven to be a reliable tool for measuring forearm and hand grip strength.

The TTM Advanced Hand Dynamometer has been greatly improved from previous versions with the stronger materials used to make it sturdier and the white dials to make measurements easier to read. The hand grip is now more comfortable with its rubber foam pad and smoother to operate, which further improves its user friendliness.
