The Pinch Grip
Force Measurement
The main force measurement device can accurately document values from 0—70 lbs. The device itself is
accurate to 0.037% over a full scale and, when combined with the software and other components, is
accurate to 0.2% over the full scale (i.e. within one pound at all times).
Cables
BTE uses high grade cabling to ensure the durability of its connections.
Protocols
The standardized Pinch Grip tests in the ODES software can be used to determine a client’s Pinch Grip
strength relative to a population of the client’s age and sex, using normative data. There are various
protocols for performing Pinch Grip testing and these are listed below.
Design
This tool is made of aluminum and documents values via a load cell device.
