144 - HAND DYNAMOMETER CALIBRATION - TSD121C
This fully isometric hand dynamometer transducer can be used in the traditional hand grip strength fashion. The hand dynamometer can be used in isolation, or combined with EMG recordings for in-depth studies of muscular activity. The isometric design improves experiment repeatability and accuracy.
The hand dynamometer is designed to interface with the DA100A/B/C General Purpose Transducer Amplifier, the TEL100 remote monitoring module, and the Biopac Student Lab System. The hand dynamometer transducer is the same for each system, but they each use a different connector and a different part number.
The equipment section of this application note provides you with a list of the appropriate part numbers and interfaces. With the proper equipment and correct scaling techniques described in this application note, precise force measurements can be obtained.
