The MyoMeter (M550) allows the user to quantify the force applied during Manual Muscle Testing, which is a procedure for the evaluation of the function and strength of individual muscles and muscle groups based on effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity and manual resistance.
Connect with a wired or wireless interface, the MyoMeter is held by the examiner with the curved anvil placed against the body part to be tested. The limb is stabilized and held in the desired position. The patient is instructed to hold the limb in position and resist the force applied by the examiner. The examiner gradually applies force until the limb is depressed, the force required to move the limb is referred to as the "breaking force".
Biometrics Hand Held Dynamometer is used extensively in the fields of ergonomics, sports science and medical research where measurements are commonly taken for a wide range of applications such as:
Grip Strength and Fatigue
Manual Muscle Testing
Bilateral Strength Testing
& Many More!
linical Manual Muscle Testing
Accurate measurements of upper and lower extremity MMT for evaluation and progress reporting for clinical rehabilitation
