Introducing Digital Hand Dynamometers
It is my pleasure to introduce two, all-new Digital Hand Dynamometers from
SAEHAN Corporation. The
DHD-1
Digital Hand Dynamometer which can upload
saved test results to a PC, and the more advanced
DHD-3
Digital Hand Dynamometer
with
G-STAR
(

Both new models represent the latest electronic technology applied to the familiar
design of hydraulic hand dynamometers. Utilizing electronic load cell transducers
instead of hydraulic f luid mechanisms that are prone to leakage; the DHD-1 and
DHD-3 are extremely durable and designed to last for many years. Highly accurate
grip strength measurement from 0-200 pounds (lbs.) or from 0-90 kilograms (kg) are
digitally displayed on the LCD, and up 20 test results for each hand can be stored in
memory during testing. The built-in battery is long lasting and can be recharged during
usage when connected to a PC using the USB cable provided.
The
DHD-1 Digital Hand Dynamometer (SH1001)
is a stand-alone device developed
to be used Just like our traditional hydraulic hand dynamometers. With the added
capability to save strength testing results in memory, strength testing can be performed
and the results reviewed and recorded after all tests are completed. When connected
to a PC using the USB cable, the Data Transfer Software can transfer the stored test
results from the DHD-1 memory into text (.txt) fi les which can be easily accessed using
Notepad or MS-Word for editing and printing.
The
DHD-3 Digital Hand Dynamometer (SH1003)
provides the same features as the
DHD-1 when used as a stand-alone device, but adds automated Rapid Exchange Grip
Testing. Using Auto Mode, up to 10 test strength tests for each hand as well as the time
allowed to switch hands can be confi gured to automate the testing procedure.
The
Grip Strength Testing and Research (G-STAR)
software extends the DHD-
3 capabilities even further. G-STAR is an easy to use, yet powerful software tool
which automates grip strength testing and endurance testing in both clinical and
research environments. All patient information and their test results are stored in
an Access database which includes normative score tables for comparison based on
age and gender. Maximum grip strength and grip endurance tests are graphically
displayed during testing and can be saved in the database with their associated patient
information. In addition, tests saved in the DHD-3 itself when used as a stand-alone
device, can be imported into the database when re-connected to the PC using G-STAR.

manuals can be downloaded by selecting "Dataroom" under the “Customer
