Comparison of the strength endurance parameters for the Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment (BTE) Simulator II and the Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer.

Background: The purpose of this study was to provide evidence regarding the Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment (BTE) Work Simulator II's recommended grip endurance protocol. The grip endurance protocol of the BTE Simulator II has never been validated, though it has been used often for the rehabilitation of work-related injuries and other occupational dysfunctions. Without validation, the grip endurance protocol may or may not be providing skilled clinicians with appropriate evaluation results.
