Martin Vigorimeter / OVP / Medical Measuring hotsell Instrument for Practice, Hospital & Collector / made in Germany

Good condition. In OVP / original packaging and operating instructions in 5 languages. It lacks the red "drag pointer", which stops at the highest value reached, but the black one shows correctly and you can of course also read it there. List price on the Internet between 490€ and 905€. Is even in the Australian Health Museum as an exhibit. This one comes from a Swedish Hälsocentralen and probably from the 90s.

The vigorimeter is a force gauge in which the measurement results are displayed by a pressure gauge. This is connected by a hose and metal connection bags with pear-shaped rubber balls of various sizes. The adjustment of the size of the pressure ball (small, medium and large ball) to the respective, individually different size of the hand allows the patient to unfold his maximum strength. The large ball is intended to be used for men and male adolescents with a midhand circumference over the ankles of more than 19 cm (= glove size over 7.5), the middle ball of girls and women and male adolescents with a midhand circumference of less than 19 cm. The small ball is intended for use in toddlers and younger schoolchildren, something from 2 to 10 years old. In addition, this small ball can be used in adolescents and adults to test the strength of individual fingers - against the thumb or against the middle hand.
