XRTS Hand Strength Assessment

11/13/2018

Today's topic is the XRTS Hand Strength Assessment. It is the most accurate hand test available today, detecting feigned weakness at 99.5% accuracy. This compares to 70% accuracy in the Bell Curve test.   

Used in upper extremity or neck injuries, the reason for the higher accuracy is that the research methodology developed criteria for identifying feigned weakness. Criteria for identifying feigned weakness were developed by identifying measures specific to individuals known to be giving a perceived 50% effort. 

The XRTS Hand Strength Assessment also incorporates simultaneous bilateral testing which is unique to this testing protocol.
