The Jamar Pinch Gauge is a thumb-and-finger force instrument for occupational and physical therapists to help measure and assess pinch strength. It tests tip, key/lateral, and palmar/three-jaw-chuck pinch abilities. The patient squeezes the metal keys, and the force is measured in either pounds or kilograms. The data front the assessment can help therapists and clinicians determine a treatment plan for their patients.
This digital pinch gauge features a user-friendly interface that is easy to read for both patients and therapists. It has memory storage for up to 99 readings for easy and consistent result tracking. Comparable results depend on proper calibration, electronic zeroing, consistent positioning, and standardized examiner technique. The gauge withstands up to a 50-pound capacity. If a patient exceeds this limit, they may need a different instrument for assessment.
