2.2 Joint Transducers
(Small and Large)
The Small and Large joint transducers are shown in Figure 5, worn comfortably on the
operator’s thumb.
These transducer have been designed specifically to apply force to the joints (for example
to study animal models of arthritis) of mice and rats but they can be used also for other
parts of the animal body, including muscles and paws, or for other joints, such as the ankle.

specific characteristics including all relevant factory calibration information. This feature
allows PAM to adjust automatically to each transducer and ensures that transducers and
