Hand Evaluation Kit (7 Pcs)

The Hand Evaluation Kit 7 Pcs is a comprehensive clinical assessment set designed for measuring hand strength, finger movement, joint range of motion, sensory perception, swelling and functional hand performance. It is suitable for physiotherapy clinics, occupational therapy departments, rehabilitation centres, hospitals, hand therapy units, medical colleges and clinical skill laboratories.

This hand evaluation kit combines seven specialised assessment instruments in one organised set. It allows therapists and healthcare professionals to evaluate grip strength, three commonly used pinch patterns, finger-joint mobility, two-point discrimination, finger circumference, cutaneous sensory response and thumb-to-finger opposition.

The kit is particularly useful for baseline assessment, progress monitoring and post-treatment comparison in patients recovering from hand trauma, neurological conditions, orthopaedic surgery, tendon injuries, fractures, burns, oedema or reduced hand function. Using the same instrument settings and a consistent test position helps improve repeatability during follow-up evaluations.

Each instrument supports a different component of hand assessment. Therefore, the complete seven-piece configuration provides a broader clinical picture than a single grip-strength or range-of-motion device. It can help clinicians document impairment, plan rehabilitation goals and monitor functional improvement over time.

Complete 7-Piece Kit Includes

• Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer: Measures overall grip strength in pounds and kilograms of force.
• 30 lb Mechanical Pinch Gauge: Measures tip, key and palmar pinch strength.
• 6-Inch Stainless Steel Finger Goniometer: Measures active and passive finger-joint range of motion.
• Three-Point Aesthesiometer: Measures cutaneous two-point discrimination and sensory threshold.
• Finger Circumference Gauge: Measures finger circumference and swelling associated with oedema.

• Functional Finger Motion Gauge: Measures composite finger flexion and thumb-to-finger opposition.

Key Features

• ROM Measurement: Finger goniometer measures flexion and hyperextension in degrees.
• Sensory Discrimination Testing: The three-point design allows alternation between single- and double-point stimulation without changing the distance setting.

• Functional Motion Testing: Measures composite flexion and opposition between the thumb and individual fingers.
• Portable Assessment Set: Suitable for clinics, bedside evaluation, teaching laboratories and rehabilitation departments.

Technical Specifications

Assessment Functions

Grip-Strength Assessment

The hydraulic hand dynamometer measures maximum grip force. Its adjustable handle accommodates different hand sizes and permits testing at five grip positions. For consistent follow-up results, clinicians should use the same handle position, patient posture and dynamometer during each assessment.

The red maximum pointer remains at the highest recorded force until reset. Each test may be repeated three times, with the average result used for documentation. Testing both the normal and affected hand can support side-to-side comparison.

Pinch-Strength Assessment

The mechanical pinch gauge measures three common pinch patterns:

• Tip Pinch: Thumb tip against the index fingertip.
• Key Pinch: Thumb pad against the lateral side of the index finger.
• Palmar Pinch: Thumb pad against the pads of the index and middle fingers.

The gauge should be zeroed before each assessment, and the force should be applied consistently at the designated pinch groove.

Finger Range-of-Motion Assessment

The finger goniometer measures active or passive joint movement. The fulcrum is aligned with the anatomical joint axis, while the arms follow the relevant finger or limb segment. The result can then be read directly from the degree scale.

Two-Point Sensory Discrimination

The three-point aesthesiometer evaluates the minimum distance at which a patient can distinguish two separate points touching the skin. Its third point allows the examiner to alternate between one-point and two-point stimulation without resetting the selected distance.

Finger Swelling Measurement

The finger circumference gauge helps measure finger diameter and oedema. The measuring webbing is wrapped around the selected finger, passed through the eyelet and tightened gently before reading the circumference from the calibrated ruler.

Cutaneous Sensory Testing

The Wartenburg pinwheel is used for a gross sensory or pain-perception response. It is moved gently over the selected skin area while the patient reports whether the stimulus is felt.

Functional Finger-Motion Assessment

The functional finger motion gauge measures composite finger flexion and thumb-to-finger opposition. For flexion assessment, the flat end is positioned at the palmar crease, and the distance to the maximally flexed fingertip is measured. For opposition testing, the patient attempts to grasp progressively smaller steps between the thumb and each finger.

Why Choose This Hand Evaluation Kit?

The Hand Evaluation Kit 7 Pcs is suitable for clinicians who require more than a basic grip-strength device. It combines strength, movement, sensory, circumference and functional-motion assessment tools in one complete set.

This broad assessment capability helps therapists understand whether reduced hand function is related to weakness, joint restriction, swelling, sensory impairment or limited finger coordination. As a result, treatment planning and progress monitoring can be more structured and measurable.
