Baseline® measurement

About the Baseline® brand

Baseline® measurement instruments have been used by orthopedists, therapists, FCE administers and professors since the 1980s. Many of you who have received therapy after an injury have probably had your progress tested throughout your rehabilitation with a Baseline® measurement instrument.

The product line includes instruments to measure strength, range-of-motion, sensory perception, body measurements and more. Many Baseline® instruments are manufactured in the USA and carry the CE mark for sale outside the USA.

The Baseline mechanical push-pull dynamometer is a simple, easy-to-use, ergonomically designed instrument that objectively measures push, pull and lift forces for manual muscle testing, functional capacity evaluation and job task evaluation. Because the instrument is lightweight, small and portable, you can perform precise, objective evaluations in your office, at the client's location, or in the field. Ergonomically designed dynamometer is easy to grasp while testing small forces. The dynamometer is packaged with 3 push pads (padded curved, padded straight, and circular), 1 pull hook and 1 snap-lock hook. Comes in a carrying case. 1 year warranty. CE certified.
The Baseline push-pull dynamometer push and pull pads can be used with the Baseline hydraulic, mechanical and electronic push-pull dynamometer. The handles are compatible with Baseline hydraulic and push-pull dynamometers.
The Baseline back leg and chest dynamometer and cable tensiometer is perfect for muscle strength measurement, job task analysis and functional capacity evaluation (FCE). The unit can be used to measure strength of muscles of the back, leg and chest. The measurement base provides secure footing. Chain length is adjusted to accommodate for height differences or to vary the point of force application. Maximum reading remains until the unit is reset. The strength reading can be viewed as pounds or kilograms. CE Certified. Comes in a protective carrying case.
