Global Medical Dynamometer Market

Medical Dynamometer Market Insights

The testing of muscle strength and physical rehabilitation can be carried out by the medical dynamometer. The equipment is an ideal tool for rehab and medical facilities. The progress rate in the rehabilitation program can also be compared with the help of such type of equipment. As a widely used tool in physical therapy, the growth in the number of physical therapists would have positive implications on the market. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment rate of physical therapists was observed to grow 18% between the period 2019 to 2029. Rising mobility issues and reducing muscle strength in the elderly population would lead to high projected demand for physical therapists and medical dynamometers.

The rise in sports injuries of all types can also lead to effective use of the medical dynamometer to test the muscle strength in athletes. In baseball, shoulder injuries are up by 500%.

The use of such devices can also be influenced bya rise innerve injury, hand trauma, and neuromuscular disorder.  Hand injuries are recorded to be on the rise in the high SDI countries. Rising hand injuries positively affect the use of a dynamometer to fasten the rehabilitation process and compare from past trends. Neuromuscular disorders also reduce muscle strength which in turn can have positive implications for the medical dynamometers. The rise in investments in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders also has far-fetching results for the high market growth.

As the clinical trials for dynamometer rise in the sports rehabilitation spaces, the market’s potential improves on account of such clinical trials. The world is facing issues of rising chronic diseases and sedentarylifestyles which leads to rising mobility issues and physical therapies conducted. The allocation of the higher budget for the healthcare domain and rising physical therapy centers would expand the market’s capabilities and potential for the given timeframe. In the USA,physical therapy centers constitute a multibillion market owing to the growing aging population and sports injuries.

The market is also regulated by the medical authority approvals for the dynamometers.  Manufacturers in this market are also working to provide skills and training to operate the healthcare simulation products to maximize patient care. The possible challenges faced by the market can be categorized into the high production cost of dynamometers and underdevelopment of rehabilitation centers in underdeveloped nations.

Medical Dynamometer Market: By Product

Hand Dynamometer share in the market would increase given the rising number of manufacturers for these types of equipment. The rising hand dysfunctionality and trauma can have a positive impact on the segment’s growth. Studies conducted by the orthopedic institutes indicate there is a high risk of hand injuries mostly for sports including ski poles and lacrosse sticks. As western countries engage heavily in these sports, the possibility of hand injuries rises to make better use of physical therapies and hand dynamometers. Studies also point towards the rising hand injuries among the elderly which benefits the market segment positively. Data by the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that occupational therapist’s demand is rising as the elderly population plunge into rising mobility issues and reducing muscle mass.

The pinch gauge domain would exhibit a rising trend in this market owing to product reliability and accuracy. Jamar and Baseline pinch gauge has a profitable market owing to their standard use by clinicians in the USA.

Medical Dynamometer Market: By Operation

The Electronic unit will be dominating the market space as they are routinely used in the testing of muscle strength. Electronic dynamometers are widely accepted by researchers and medical professionals. The DynX hand dynamometers are included in the category for electronic units enable therapists to perform grip test. The instrument is user-friendly, precise, and versatile and is an advanced version of the old generation instrument. The equipment exploits the microprocessor technology that offers accurate data view and also automatic data calculation.

Medical Dynamometer Market: By Application

The orthopedicbranch would have a high-end use of hand dynamometers given the rising elbow injuries among the young athletes. The inclination towards the increasing orthopedicsurgeries will also support the segment’s growth. The young population is opting more for kneeand hip replacements due to rising obesity challenges and enhanced levels of orthopedictreatments. Better treatments lead to better provision of medical equipment leading to expansion for the medical dynamometers.

The neurology domain will see the rising use of medical dynamometers as research and studies are increasingly testing the efficacy of the hand dynamometer to check the strength of patients suffering from neuromuscular disorders.

Medical Dynamometer Market: By End User

Physiotherapy clinics would record rising estimates in this market owing to the increased demand for physiotherapists in the market. Another factor that also contributes to the segment’s high growth is the rising estimates for shoulder injuries in young athletes.

Rehabilitation centers are predicted to have a surge in demand as people suffering fromchronic diseases are increasing at a fast rate. The need of the hour is to meet the needs of the population by investing in rehabilitation centers in developing and underdeveloped nations.

Medical Dynamometer Market:  By Region

North America’s dominating position would be enhanced by the region’s investment in rehabilitation centers and medical equipment. The USA Hospitals inroutine use the pinch gauge and hand dynamometer. The rise in the startup culture in the neuroscience field in the region also leads to positive implications for this market.

Asia Pacific’s growth in this market would be met by the rising investment in the neuroscience field and expanding operational capacity for sports rehabilitation centers.
