Occupational Therapy
In order to ensure correct and accurate measurement of a patient’s ability and improvement over time, it is vital that the devices used to measure their progress are correctly calibrated. Not only is it important to get a correct reading but even more important is consistency across instruments given that a patient may be tested using different devices during different visits. The only way to measure change is to have a consistent set of instruments to use.
One common family of occupational therapy devices that are supported by HK Calibration Technologies Pty Ltd (HKCT) are a set of hand strength measurement devices. These are used with patients that have carpal tunnel syndrome, hand nerve and tendon injuries as well as neurological disorders that affect the hands.
