A hand grip and arm strength testing apparatus is
used as part of a pursuit and restraint circuit in a
constable selection process. The apparatus which simulates
the action required to move an uncooperative individual's
arms to a handcuffing position comprises a support
structure with a pair of moveable arms each of which is
biased to a widespread position relative to the other arm.
Each of the arms has a handle with a lock which is biased
to a locking position and which locks against movement of
the arm on which the handle is provided. The lock is
moveable to an unlocking position by hand grip pressure
sufficient to overcome the bias on the handle lock whereby
the arm is then swingable inwardly from its widespread
position when sufficient arm strength is applied to, and
overcomes, the bias on the arm.
Un appareil pour contrôler la capacité de serrage de la main et la force du bras est utilisé dans un circuit de poursuite et de maîtrise dans le cadre d'un processus de sélection d'agents de police. L'appareil qui permet de simuler l'action nécessaire pour amener les bras d'un individu non coopératif en position de menottage comprend une structure de support dotée d'une paire de bras mobiles, lesquels sont poussés en position d'écartement l'un par rapport à l'autre. Chacun des bras a une poignée avec un dispositif de blocage qui se met en position de blocage pour empêcher le bras de bouger. Le dispositif de blocage peut être mis en position de déblocage par une pression de serrage de la main suffisante pour vaincre le blocage de la poignée, ce qui fait qu'il est alors possible de faire pivoter le bras vers l'intérieur quand on applique une force de bras suffisante pour vaincre la poussée d'écartement qui est exercée sur le bras mécanique.
