The SAEHAN Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is used for hand-strength testing by
measuring tip, key and palmar pinch.
The Pinch Gauge can be used as a diagnostic tool, or for monitoring the
progress of rehabilitation.
Pinch force is measured in pounds and kilograms (45 lbs or 20kg.
Maximum reading) on a dual scale. It is held by the therapist, not the
patient.
The patient should apply pressure the pinch block with the finger pads or
finger tips. Pressing the pinch button with the thumb causes the force
reading to appear on the gauge.

measurement. The American Society of Hand Therapists recommends the
following testing position :
1. Patient should be seated.
2. Shoulders should be adducted and neutrally rotated.
3. Elbow should be flexed at 90 degrees.
4. Forearm and wrist should be in a neutral position.
5. Tolerance of degree is
±
2%
6. When you dispose of this unit, it may leak oil.
