Qubit Systems' strain-gage based isometric S216 Hand Dynamometer is designed for use with the LabPro interface and Logger Pro software in a variety of experiments, and may be combined with the S210 EMG sensor for comprehensive studies of muscle activity. The dynamometer is factory calibrated in Newtons and kilograms force. It measures grip strength, relative strength of the left and right hand, muscle fatigue and endurance. It also has grips for measuring finger strength. Its sensitivity ensures that all students may obtain excellent signals, and may participate in the full complement of studies.

A favourite investigation involves the control of grip strength in which students attempt to obtain repeated measurements of the same magnitude. By changing frequency of repetition, muscle control and endurance may be studied. Coupled with EMG measurements, this provides a very informative and entertaining laboratory session.
