QMA42 - Improvement Summary
- Compliant with all MS
Windows operating systems - including Win 2000 & XP
- Construct Protocols,
Muscle Tests and muscle testing sequence as your needs
dictate and at your convenience - not at the discretion of a programmer.
- All testing information
is Protocol specific - You may have Multiple Sites / Multiple Protocols - test
in any measuring unit – Kgs, Lbs, or
Newtons.
- Input your patient
information in either English/ American or International format.
- Construct different
muscles to test and their sequence in unique protocols.
- Begin Visit by Double
Clicking on Patient Information -faster and easier test start.
- Change Visit Number to
meet requirements of protocol – pre-qualify can be
PQ001, regular test – 00001 – automatically sequences from last digits
- Protocols and Muscle
tests have LONG file names; Left Elbow Extension is
no longer “LELBEXT”, but is now Left Elbow Extension, or your
designation.
- Utility Included to
change previously acquired QMA muscle tests to Long names -
Improve the ability to share database information, including normative data.
- Extremity Weight for Hip Extension a Problem
? - NOT ANY MORE - Set the loaded weight or tare to zero, check zero and test.
Measure the effort–not the extremity.
- Stop a strength test at
a predefined percentage from maximum, or disable the
stop test so multiple traces can be taken, or a full effort (curve) acquired.
- Myatonia
& Oppenheim's syndrome
- Measure the back-slope of an effort / Create
Notes including the release
point for reference - Query/export to Excel to analyze.
- Variable fatigue
modeling -explained with examples-you set the analytical ranges.
- Increased data points
per second and enhanced effort to time accuracy.
-
Corresponding time of effort and
acquired data points displayed and associated directly.
- View or print
longitudinal patient's efforts of one or several muscles tested.
-
Print a
summary of tests of a patient, may include referring physician and disease.
-
View
patients visits - includes dates of visits and visit numbers
-
Calibration check of input devices simplified - about three
minutes per device.
-
Calibration Log File - Upon checking calibration - builds a
continuous calibration
log file that may be reviewed or printed. Contains date and time of
calibration, etc.
-
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - Need to check Height and Weight
each visit ? -
Build these as "Other" Tests, and enter the data at each visit.
-
Virtually paperless testing - Reject a trial within the
test including annotation -
-
Make
NOTES as needed – anytime during the testing process.
-
Time
tests within the program - need to time an event (3 stair
climb) ? - use the "stopwatch" inside qma.
-
Transfer MMT information to QMA in
"Other" Tests - reduce paper to your statisticians.
-
Compile, Query, and Export acquired qma42 data to MS EXCEL for
analysis. Compatible with Office
2000.
-
New and
updated USER MANUAL available with QMA 42 – with Notes and Hints.
Optional Equipment and software now
available
-
Test
with multiple input devices (two to five max) – from 1.1 lbf to 1000 lbf. –
reduces time testing – eliminates switching input devices from head to foot.
-
QMA Software Converter for previously acquired data (qma v1.1 – 3.4) and
(qma 4.0, 4.1) to file format of QMA42 – permits data to be queried and
exported to MS Excel.
- Pinch test input device
now available – 50 lbf capacity - +.05 % max error.
- Hand Held Myometry input
equipment with integrated remote switch now available -
50 or 100 lbf capacity - +.05 % max error.
