Built from a Patient's Perspective

In 2025, our founder visited an occupational therapist after a pinched nerve affected his ability to move his right hand. The therapist used a dynamometer to quantify his grip and pinch force, but no instrument existed for assessing extension and abduction, which was the founder's primary challenge. For the clinician, it meant falling back on subjective manual muscle testing. For the patient, it meant a clinical record that didn't reflect the actual impairment.

The Splayometer gives clinicians the quantitative data they need to assess, document, and track the full range of hand and finger functionality — for the first time.
