Sensitive Guy Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 So I’m relatively new to grip, and grip training, but assess and measure it a fair bit in clinic - as a biomarker, and as a means of assessing cervical (neck) / arm / hand dysfunctions. I currently use a Lafayette (200lb) or Baseline (300lb) static / isometric hand dynamometer for measuring grip / crush strength. Are there any dynamometers out there which allow for movement? In other words, ones where the handles get closer together during the measurement, which also have the ability to measure average to strong grip up to 300lbs + Thanks in advance for any guidance / advice you can offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 At that point you're basically describing a gripper. You could get an adjustable one and set the handles to parallel, to eliminate some of the variables of having to set the gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 None that I am aware of that work quite like that but I am working on something that could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Joe Musslewhite held one up in a video chat he was doing with someone else once, but the quality was such I couldnt get any info from it at the time On 5/16/2019 at 5:16 PM, acorn said: None that I am aware of that work quite like that but I am working on something that could do that.

Thanks everyone for your responses Yes Mr. Richard Sorin is a member here under the name @1stCoC. I don't know what is Lucas referring to but I know Richard has the RB one which is dynamic (with movement). I own few of the older RB hand dyno (both models, one goes to 125KG and the other to 150 KG) and it is all dynamic. Amazing piece of equipment. Want one? You can't but new. Must hunt down owners and buy from them. No I won't sell mine even though I have few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensitive Guy Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 @Alawadhi do you have pictures by any chance? Very curious to see if this is the one I saw in the video .... Much appreciated if you can find the time to do this On 6/9/2019 at 12:26 PM, Alawadhi said: Yes Mr. Richard Sorin is a member here under the name @1stCoC.

Sensitive Guy Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Oooooo there’s another type ... this might have been it .... You make it sound like these are difficult to come by, is that the case? Are there modern equivalents which go to c. 300lb mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensitive Guy Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 So, I’ve found the video Joe Musslewhite holding a dynamic dynamometer. Also mentioned static ones give typically 15% higher readings, which given I don’t have a massive amount of confidence in the baseline I own, doesn’t bode well.. the Lafayette I feel is super accurate and repeatable, but I’m too near the upper limit of the dial and need it to remain accurate for use in clinic. If annoying knows what this device is, or what a suitable dynamic dynamometer would be that goes to c. 300lbs, I’d be very grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic is of course more superior. But the maximum I've seen is a 100Kg besides the Baraban which goes to 150KG. The Baseline 300 static is also great go for it.
