- Sapphire™ Quick Tester
April 9, 2009
Simwork Systems is pleased to announce the release of the
Sapphire™ Quick Tester upper extremity assessment component
system. This new upper extremity testing tool uses the patent
pending tools developed for the Sapphire™ Work Assessment
System. This exciting package allows the user to operate any or
all of the Sapphire™ isometric, pinch, grip and pro-flex
strength assessment devices from their own computer. The initial
Quick Tester release supports the Sapphire™ pinch device that
measures the evaluee’s isometric functional finger pinch
strength. The Quick Tester software allows test customization
and can compare the evaluee’s performance to U.S. Department of
Labor Dictionary of Occupational Titles
(DOT) or the Canadian National Occupational
Classification (NOC) physical demands strength
definitions. The system’s flexibility provides the potential for
various applications including therapy tracking, pre-employment
assessment, work therapy and strengthening exercises. Additional
Quick Tester releases are scheduled throughout 2009 and include
the isometric grip strength next. Later in the year the unique
combination pro-flex device will be introduced. The pro-flex
device measures isometric wrist flexion and extension as well as
forearm pronation and supination strength. Additional
information about the Sapphire™ Quick Tester can be obtained
from Simwork Systems, 4101 South Longfellow, #111, Tucson, AZ
