The Gripper is a precision handheld grip dynamometer designed to provide objective, repeatable, and accurate strength measurements. Developed by Movement Assessment Technologies, it is an essential tool for clinicians, coaches, and rehabilitation professionals to assess muscle strength across various movement patterns.
Measures isometric and dynamic muscle strength with high accuracy.
Ergonomic design for comfortable use during testing.
Durable and lightweight construction for portability.
Digital display for easy reading of force output.
Rechargeable battery for extended use.
Compatible with the Tester Platform and Measurz app for standardized assessments.
Muscle strength assessment for performance testing.
Return-to-sport readiness evaluations.
Baseline strength testing and progress tracking.
Research and clinical use for objective force measurement.
Strength imbalance identification.
The Gripper operates in two testing modes: hold and live.
Hold Mode: Preferred for using the device without the Measurz app.
Live Mode: Recommended when using the Measurz app.
To switch modes, long-press the 'UNIT' button. The display will show either 'HOLD' (hold mode) or 'LIVE' (live mode).
Gripper Buttons:
UNIT (left button):
Short press: Change measuring units. Ensure the displayed unit matches the one used in your Measurz app.
Long press (3 seconds): Switch operating modes.
'HOLD' = hold mode (used without the Measurz app)
'LIVE' = live mode (used with the Measurz app)
ON/OFF (center button): Power the device on or off.
TARE (right button):
Short press: Calibrate or re-zero to ensure accurate testing results.
For safe and effective use of the Gripper, follow these guidelines:
Ensure proper grip positioning: Hold the Gripper correctly for accurate readings and to avoid strain.
Use in a stable position: Sit or stand securely to prevent unintended movement affecting results.
Avoid excessive force: Do not exceed the device’s maximum force capacity to prevent damage.
Monitor user fatigue: Allow adequate rest between tests to ensure reliable measurements.
Store properly: Keep the Gripper in a clean, dry environment to maintain accuracy and durability.
Clean regularly: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface or display.
Check for damage: Inspect the device before each use for signs of wear or malfunction.
Do not drop: Impacts may affect calibration and measurement accuracy.
Supervise use when necessary: Provide guidance to individuals unfamiliar with strength testing.
Avoid extreme temperatures: Store in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain sensor integrity.
Electrical Safety and Charging Guidelines:
Use only the provided charger: Third-party chargers may cause damage or malfunction.
Charge in a dry, well-ventilated area: Avoid charging in humid environments to prevent electrical issues.
Do not overcharge: Disconnect once fully charged to prolong battery life.
Keep away from water: Avoid exposing the charging port or cables to moisture.
Inspect cables regularly: Check for frayed wires or damage before use.
Avoid extreme temperatures while charging: Charging in excessively hot or cold environments may impact battery performance.
Store safely: Keep the charging cable neatly stored to prevent damage.
