DHD-1 Digital Hand Dynamometer – Introduction
DHD-1 Introduction
The Digital Hand Dynamometer, Model DHD-1 provides digitized Grip
Strength measuring and Endurance Strength testing in real time. This device is
used to measure the dysfunction of injured hands. Test results can be displayed
in Kg (kilograms) or lb (Pounds).
The DHD-1 Digital Hand Dynamometer represents the latest electronic
technology applied to the familiar design of hydraulic hand dynamometers.
Utilizing electronic load cell transducers instead of hydraulic fl uid mechanisms
that are prone to leakage; the DHD-1 is 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) is digitally displayed on the LCD and up
to 20 test results for each hand can be stored in memory. The built-in battery
is long lasting and is easily recharged when connected to a PC using the USB
cable included with the DHD-1. To transfer saved test results from the DHD-1
to a PC, see DHD-1 Digital Hand Dynamometer - Data Transfer Software
Installation and Usage beginning on page 26.
The DHD-1 has three modes of operation: Setting Mode, Testing Mode, and
Reading Mode. The buttons perform different functions depending on the
current mode of operation.
Setting Mode is used for setting the date and time. The DATE and TIME of
each test can be saved in memory with the corresponding test result.
Testing Mode is used for testing grip strength and measuring the maximum
grip force applied. Up to 20 test results for each hand can be saved in memory
and referenced by Test Number, which indicates the number of test results
stored in memory for each hand.
Reading Mode is used to display the test results for each Test Number saved
in memory. Test results include the maximum grip force (MAX), DATE and
TIME of individual tests as well as the average (AVG), standard deviation (SD),
and coeffi cient of variation (CV) based all tests for the selected HAND.
