The Clinical Gap
Quantify Extension & Abduction
Precise measurements of muscle strength in fingers and hands are fundamental to evaluation and treatment of functional deficits related to injury, paralysis, degradation, aging or other conditions.
Instruments for measuring grip strength and pinch force have been in clinical use for decades. But no commercial tool exists for the opposite motion — the force generated when fingers extend, spread, or open the hand against resistance.
Without an objective instrument, clinicians are forced to rely on manual muscle testing: a subjective, examiner-dependent method that introduces inter-rater variability and limits the reliability of clinical documentation.
"No prior commercial instrument exists for measuring extension or abduction force of the fingers or hand. The Splayometer addresses this gap directly."
The Problem
Subjective Manual Muscle Testing
Therapists resist motion with their own hands and assign a grade — introducing variability, limiting detection of subtle changes, and compromising documentation quality.
The Solution
Quantitative Force Measurement
The Splayometer delivers a precise, reproducible numerical force reading in pounds or kilograms — the same standards used for grip and pinch assessment.
The Result
Objective, Defensible Clinical Data
Baseline documentation, progress tracking, outcome measurement, and medico-legal reporting — all grounded in quantitative evidence.
