Problem
Therapists and clinicians currently assess finger and hand extension and abduction strength using subjective visual or manual methods, which lack quantitative data, repeatability, and objective baselines. This makes it difficult to track patient progress, compare outcomes, and document treatment efficacy for upper‑extremity conditions.
Solution
Novel Measurement Devices offers the Splayometer, a purpose‑built instrument that quantifies finger and hand extension and abduction force with objective, repeatable numerical readings. The device integrates precision engineering and calibrated load sensors to deliver accurate force measurements in a handheld form factor. Data are displayed instantly for the clinician and can be recorded for longitudinal tracking of baseline values, treatment progress, and outcome documentation. Its intuitive interface requires minimal training, allowing seamless incorporation into routine occupational and physical therapy assessments. By providing reliable quantitative metrics, the Splayometer enables evidence‑based decision‑making and standardized reporting across diverse clinical settings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other clinicians who evaluate upper‑extremity function, as well as rehabilitation centers and hospitals seeking objective hand‑strength measurement tools.
