Comparison with Other Hand Therapy Systems

The following table shows a comparison of the E-LINK and Greenleaf Eval systems:

E-LINK DEVICES AND SOFTWARE MODULES GREENLEAF EVALUATION
X4 InterX Unit to PC INTERFACE UNIT Interface Unit standalone or to PC
DYNAMOMETER
Standard Grip Strength Test
with up to 3 measurements taken over the 5 positions
Graph generated for grip strength/position
Statistics: average grip strength & CV%
Sustained Grip Strength Test
with fixed time intervals
Statistics: peak force, time to peak, average over last 60%, average to peak ratio and endurance
Records 8 grip strength measurements Rapid Exchange Grip Strength Test Records 5 grip strength measurements
Progress over time Reports/Outcome Measure
Statistics: up to 10 tests can be plotted and gives % change per session, from the first test and % of normative data
Grip Strength Exercise
Gradable activities working randomly or to the end range with some activities focusing on cognitive skills
PINCHMETER
Key, Three Jaw and Tip-to-Tip positions & single Thumb to Finger Opposition measurements Standard Pinch Strength Test
with up to 3 measurements taken over the 5 positions
