Dynamometers

Hand dynamometers are an important tool in patient rehabilitation. They measure a patient’s grip strength and display the information on either an analog gauge or a digital display. This data is crucial for tracking a patient’s progress in therapy or establishing baseline measurements before surgery. Ensuring accuracy and repeatability across all dynamometers is essential, necessitating proper care and maintenance procedures.

Hand dynamometers basic maintenance

Basic daily maintenance involves keeping the device clean to protect its finish and prevent the spread of infections among patients. Always refer to the operator’s manual for specific cleaning instructions; typically, a clean, damp cloth with mild detergent suffices. Additionally, store the instrument in its protective case in a safe, dry location between uses to prevent accidental drops or exposure to moisture that could cause corrosion.

Calibration is vital for these sensitive devices, assuring both healthcare providers and patients. TRH Services offers calibration services for most hand dynamometers in use. Each unit undergoes thorough testing to ensure cleanliness, accuracy, and safety. If calibration deviates from manufacturer specifications, we make adjustments to restore it to optimal operational standards. Our goal is to maintain reliable equipment, allowing you to focus on patient care worry-free.
