ELECTRONIC BIOMEDICAL DYNAMOMETER FOR MEASUREMENT, ANALYSIS AND REGISTRATION OF INFORMATION ON THE PALMAR GRIP STRENGTH AND CLAMP GRIP STRENGTH

摘要

electronic biomedical dynamometer for measuring, analyzing and recording information on handgrip strength and clamp grip strength. the present invention relates to an electronic biomedical dynamometer capable of measuring grip strength of the upper limb, palmar and clamp, allowing adjustment of the grip spacing of both fingers and palm, facilitating use by people with different anthropometric variations. this dynamometer is capable of measuring the varying forces during the evaluation time, for the range of forces that can vary from 5 n to 800 n, with a mechanical structure made of metalon. the design developed aimed to satisfy the needs not met in other equipment, so the invention has the following relevant characteristics: it performs the user's visual stimulation through the spring system, measures the grip strength of each finger separately and also the sum of the measurements made. this equipment allows the adjustment of the spacing of the supports for the fingers, the palm of the hand / thumb, performs the processing, plotting of graphs, analyzes and stores the results obtained from the measurements.
