Abstract
An adaptation of the calibrated hand dynamometer for a human manipulandum is described. When appropriately instrumented, a microswitch will be mechanically actuated following a response (pull) of pre-determined strain. Several desirable features of utilizing the dynamometer for this purpose have been cited; the most salient being (1) relatively low cost for high accuracy and (2) ease of utilization.
