Assess Muscle Strength & Fatigue
with
Objective Tools.
AEVERL Medical develops, manufactures and distributes LifeForce
QMA software, evaluation instruments and muscle strength and fatigue
assessing systems.
All muscles or muscle groups that may be isolated may be tested,
using Hand Dynamometers with analog output, pinch instruments or Fixed Myometry instruments
for extremeties and large muscles and muscle groups.
Instruments normally utilized have capacities from 50
lb (25kg) to 300
lb (150kg).
Incredibly accurate instruments provide a platform for
repeatable and consistent data acquisition. Your testing
protocols, training, experience and encouragement ensure proper patient participation
and data consistency.
Fixed Myometry utilizes a relative fixed point for the
subject/patient to
exert effort. This may be a frame or wall mounted unit. Fixed Myometry is
primarily utilized in clnical studies, research and drug trials.to assess the desired
muscles as determined in their protocol.
Rehabilitative clinics may utilize fixed
myometry with stronger muscles or larger
muscle sets. You may now document the rehab/recovery of the
strong athelete and their large muscle groups to at least 90% of
their adjacent side. Accurate and consistent repeatable measurements
are the norm.
For those that Specialize in
Hand Rehabilitative
Therapy:
1.
Hand grip strength and fatigue
(five positions)
2.
Pinch grip strength and fatigue (tip, key and palmar).
3.
Individual Finger strength
and fatigue.
Documentation of the progress of your patient
through therapy or research may be acquired and reported
electronically. Professionally designed reports are
automatically populated with the patient information and acquired data.
You complete the patients documentation with your
evaluation and observations.
Evaluation may be continuing through therapy -
Compare the visit of your patient to a
previous or baseline visit. Documentation may include the measured effort and the
percentage change of each muscle tested from a previous visit.
PT
Evaluation with a report may be completed in minutes.
Compare the effort of your
patient to NORMAL.
The efforts of a patient may be compared to those of an expected
normal, based on age, gender and BMI (Body Mass Index). The
difference between the efforts of the patient and the expected
amounts may be displayed as a percentage of deviation.
Deviation from an expected normal are calculated for each muscle or
muscle group in the visit requested. Documentaion may be
requested at the conclusion of each visit, and a comparision made to
the original visit, current visit or visit or your choice.
A high and low range as a percentage of the expected amount for each
muscle tested are also calculated, to assist you in highlighting an
area that you may determine requires additional attention.
In research and clincial evaluation, efforts made by the patient scoring below the anticipated lower levels of deviation may indicate abnormal weakness of that muscle or muscle group. Further assessment may be wise.
Lower scoring may also indicate that the patient is not fully engaged in the protocol, and the efforts are not representative of their true capacities. This may be beneficial when a patient is completing a Funcional Capacity Examination (FCE).
Normal predictive calculations are based on publications by Mathiowetz, Bohannon, etc. Reports with normal comparisons include those efforts most tested, the Extremeties and Hand and Pinch strength testing. <more>
