pexter Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Product Information for... Grip Strength Meter for Rat Product: #347105 Product Overview: The 347106 Grip-Strength Meter measures forelimb grip-strength in rats. The effects of drugs, toxins, muscle relaxants, disease, ageing or neural damage on muscle strength may be assessed. The rat is placed over an acrylic slide plate, in front of a grasping trapeze and pulled backward by the tail. Rodents instinctively grab anything they can to try to stop this involuntary backward movement, until the pulling force overcomes their grip strength. After the animal loses its grip, the peak preamplifier automatically stores the peak pull force and shows it on a liquid crystal display. The similar 47106 is dimensioned for the mou.se The data supplied by the peak amplifier are available in digital and analog form. The peak amplifier is provided with a connector for connecting it to the Multifunction Printer. Grip meter pic. Quote www.freedom-tv.net
Rob Vigeant Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Do they take into account for hand size Quote Rob (midget) Vigeant
maidenfan Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I might actually be able to peg that meter Quote Morgan Guthner Fairfax, VA Goals - be a better arm wrestler
Zevich Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Grab me by one of my bodyparts, pull backwards hard, and I bet you I would have one hell of a grip too. Quote IT AIN’T THE YEARS – IT’S THE MILES IF IT AINT BROKE - BREAK IT!
Octogen Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Perhaps this could be an event in strongman Hold on to bar attached to spring balance, tie rope around feet, attach to tractor and then start the tractor, whoever holds on for the greatest tension wins. Loser gets a double shoulder reconstruction. Quote Don Stevenson Sydney, Australia
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I suppose that's sort of like the hanging plunge, only alot cooler to watch Quote Dwell not upon your weariness, for your strength shall be according to the measure of your desire. Jeff Ford
Clay Edgin Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 How is it that rats can get a cool job like squeezing a dyno all day while I'm here in an office? Quote
Octogen Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Clay, perhaps if you volunteered to be injected with experimental medicines you could get a job as a lab rat I don't know if the benefits would outweigh the possible disadvantages. Of course you could get lucky and end up with a super mutant grip, oh wait you've got that already! Quote Don Stevenson Sydney, Australia
sigmfsk Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 It looks like the rat might be "jerking" the grip meter in order to artificially inflate the readings to impress the rat babes. Still beats working in the office. Quote Goal for 2005: Cert on the #3 with a table set.
