The Lafayette Hand-held Dynamometer (HHD) is an ergonomic hand-held device used for objectively
quantifying muscle strength. The test is performed with the clinician stabilizing the dynamometer
to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to resist the patient's applied
force. The HHD records the peak force and the time required to achieve the force providing reliable,
accurate, and stable muscle strength readings.
The HHD also features interactive menus to allow a wide range of options such as data storage, preset
test times, and force thresholds to be implemented. While powerful and versatile, the HHD is still
and tester comfort while easily conforming to testing protocols.
Precautions
•

•
•
• Exceeding the force limit (300lbs/136kg/9999kPa/1335N) may permanently damage and/or
invalidate the calibration of the HHD.
• Upon initial receipt of HHD, charge for 2 hours.
• This device uses a Lithium-Ion battery as a power source. It is recommended that the battery be
charged at least once every six months. Failure to periodically charge the battery may result in
battery damage or device malfunction.
