Which dynamometer should you buy? The answer is… it depends.
In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack speaks with Dr Claire Minshull about the rapidly growing world of force measurement tech in rehab and MSK practice .
We discuss:
• Why “just buy the one your mate has” is risky
• Sampling frequency (Hz) — and why it matters for RFD
• Load capacity vs intended use
• Calibration, data fidelity & measurement error
• Why handheld dynamometry increases variability
• External fixation and reducing clinician error
• The myth of chasing normative values
• Building your own in-clinic strength database
Claire also introduces WhichDynamometer.com — a free, side-by-side comparison tool built after over a year of collecting technical specifications directly from manufacturers.
This episode is essential listening for:
✔️ Physiotherapists
✔️ Sports rehab clinicians
✔️ S&C coaches
✔️ Clinic owners making capital purchases
✔️ Anyone wanting to use objective data properly
Force measurement isn’t a magic bullet — but used well, it can enhance decision-making, patient confidence, and rehabilitation progression.
