How it works?

Activity: Pinch Measurement

1. The prototype

Figure 1: The prototype before switch ON

2. Ready to measure pinch force

Figure 2: The Digital Pinch Meter begin the operation

3. The data collect and display on LCD

Figure 3: Pinch force is detect. 40N

This digital pinch meter able to detect force range from 0N until 100N. However, the normal hand pinch is between 22.26N until 89N. Below than that it can be classify as loss muscle or hand nonfunctional.

Circuit Selection

Activity:

Circuit Selection for FYP 2

Circuit 1

Circuit 2

Circuit 2 is selected by supervisor, Encik Zulkifli Mahmoodin

Objectives

—To measure pinch force by a standard measurement system.

—Reduce failure when taking a measurement

—Friendly use to clinician or therapist and home patient usage.

Problem statement

Activity: Discuss on problem statement for pinch meter

—Previous pinch meter is an analog.
—Difficult to read and collect data.
—Failure of reading taken.
—High cost.

Types of hand pinch

3 types of pinch :

Three jaw chuck pinch

tip to tip pinch

lateral pinch (key pinch)

Introduction

—Pinch measurement is a measurement that involves of hand strength for pinching.

—Pinch is hand activity that use thumb finger, index finger and middle finger.

—There are 3 types of pinch:

§lateral pinch

§Tip to tip pinch

§Three jaw chuck pinch

—Pinch meter use to measure the degree of hand power.

—Hand that reduced active range motion is a sign of loss muscle strength.

Abstract

Definition of pinch meter :

Figure : Analog pinch meter

An instrument for measuring the degree of hand muscular power

Discussion on FYP 1

Activity : Discussion about pinch measurement

• Define pinch measurement
• Why do we need this equipment?
• How to measure using this equipment?
• Benefit of this equipment?
