Clinical Assessment Instrument

Quantitative Diagnosis and Assessment

The Splayometer is the first commercial instrument purpose-built for measuring finger and hand extension and abduction force — delivering the objectivity and repeatability that diagnosis and rehabilitation requires.

The Clinical Gap

Measuring Extension & Abduction

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 has existed 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 and limiting detection of subtle changes.

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.

The Device

Designed for Multiple Applications

The Splayometer measures the tensile force generated when a patient spreads fingers apart, extends a finger away from the thumb, or opens the hand against a resistance band.

Finger Rings

Hollow pliable rings sized for each digit — index through pinky and thumb. The patient inserts one finger per ring; the Splayometer measures the tensile force between them as they spread apart.

Hand Loop

A larger flexible loop that encircles all four fingers or the entire hand, enabling measurement of whole-hand extension and abduction force. Available in multiple sizes.

Twist-Lock Quick Release

A 90-degree turn locks or releases any attachment member. Clinicians can switch between fingers or swap to the hand loop mid-session without interrupting workflow.

Features

Adaptable, Reliable and Accurate

The Splayometer combines advanced load cell technology with a rechargeable, battery-powered display module to deliver precise force measurement for clinical assessment.
