Electronic manual muscle tester

The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer (formerly known as the Manual Muscle Tester) is an ergonomic hand-held device for objectively quantifying muscle strength. The test is performed with the clinician applying force to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to overcome or “break” the patient’s resistance. This electronic dynamometer can be used alone to perform manual muscle testing and can also be used in combination with a lift platform to perform muscle strength and functional capacity tests. Each push-pull MMT device is designed to be compatible with the Baseline® single and dual grip handles (sold separately). Each dynamometer also comes standard in a cushioned Brand: Baseline.  · Handheld Dynamometers and Manual Muscle Testing. Monitoring muscle strength is one of the ways physical therapists and other healthcare practitioners can objectively assess overall health. The best tool for accurately evaluating muscle strength are what is know as Hand Held Dynamometers.

textbooks and manual muscle testing resources and guides for patient conditions suitable for dynamometry testing, further testing methods and protocols, and for evaluation of test data. Reasons for Muscle testing: Screening: measurement of the subject's strength against a know norm (i.e., grip. These devices involve a patient exerting muscle force to or against a surface that uses springs, hydraulics or electronic measurement to ascertain strength. Access Health is the nation's trusted provider of quality manual muscle testers from the globe's leading brands, including Lafayette, ergoFET and Baseline. Its ergonomic design allows for both patient and tester comfort while easily conforming to manual muscle testing protocols. The HHD uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a battery life of 6 hrs when powered on and has a range of kg (lb/N) with an accuracy of ± 1 % over full scale. It is supplied with three easy to change.

The wireless microFET®2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer muscle tester is an accurate, portable Force Evaluation and Testing (FET) device. It is designed specifically for taking objective, reliable, and quantifiable muscle testing measurements. It is a modern adaptation of the time-tested art of hands-on manual muscle testing. The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer (formerly known as the Manual Muscle Tester) is an ergonomic hand-held device for objectively quantifying muscle strength. The test is performed with the clinician applying force to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to overcome or “break” the patient’s resistance. The MMT records the peak force and the time required to achieve the “break” providing reliable, accurate, and stable muscle strength readings that conform to most manual muscle testing protocols. The MMT also features a wide range of customizable options for data storage, preset test times, and force thresholds. Features: Three (3) easy to change molded plastic stirrups with pads; Measures Peak force; Time to reach peak force; Total test time; Time within selectable ranges.
