Baseline® Poly-Functional™ 5-Position Pinch Gauge - Load Cell - Research Model

The Baseline Poly-Functional 5-Position Pinch Gauge is a load cell research model for measuring pinch strength with adjustable hand positioning. It fits clinics, functional capacity evaluation workflows, workers comp testing, and research settings that need repeatable measurements, stored results, and live test data on a large oLED display. This battery-operated gauge uses a 5-position handle to accommodate different hand sizes and can show results in lb or kg.

Good Fit For

• Functional capacity evaluation workflows
• Workers comp testing
• Research settings
• General exam rooms

Key Features

• Adjustable 5-position handle helps accommodate different hand sizes for accurate, repeatable pinch measurements
• Load cell research model supports advanced testing workflows beyond basic clinic use
• Large oLED display shows results and live test data for easier reading during exams
• Stored data allows instant recall when reviewing prior scans or test series
• Bluetooth enabled for connected workflow support
• Displays peak values and calculates mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each scan series

Applications and Usage

• Measuring pinch strength across multiple hand positions
• Running quick peak-value testing
• Performing general strength testing with consecutive scans at the same grip level
• Conducting research-model protocols such as rapid exchange, maximum voluntary effort, modified maximum voluntary effort, and fatigue testing

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: EA.
• Size: 7".
• This is the research model, intended for advanced testing applications in addition to clinic protocols
• The user sets exertion and rest times, which may matter for protocol standardization across staff or sites
• Results can toggle between lb and kg, which can help teams that document in different measurement units

FAQ

• Does this pinch gauge work for different hand sizes? Yes. The adjustable 5-position handle accommodates all hand sizes for pinch measurements.
• What kind of data does the research model display? The gauge shows live test data and results on a large oLED display. It also shows the maximum peak value for each scan and calculates the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for each series of scans.
• Can users switch between pounds and kilograms? Yes. Results can toggle from lb to kg.
• What testing protocols are available on this model? Clinic and research protocols include Quick Test and General Strength Test. The research model also adds Rapid Exchange Test, Maximum Voluntary Effort Test, Modified Maximum Voluntary Effort Test, and Fatigue Test.
• Does the pinch gauge store results? Yes. Data is stored for instant recall.
