The system using fixed myometry consists of an electric HIGH/low examination table, an orthopedic frame, pc or notebook computer with the qma program, an analog/digital acquisition card, and various input devices. The examination table is placed within and surrounded by the orthopedic frame. An in-line force transducer (load cell) is secured to the frame, and a strap or cable is extended to a cuff. The cuff is worn by the patient (subject), and the the patient is positioned on the examination table in such a way as to isolate a muscle or muscle group to test. The test is started, the patient is directed to exert effort, and the resultant data displayed as a trace (curve). The analog signal received from the force transducer is digitized by the converter in the pc and converted to data within a usable file structure. Over time additional data may be acquired, and longitudinal comparative analysis completed.
Hand and pinch strength and fatigue, and release data may also be measured.
Hand Held Myometry also available for digitizing MMT type testing. - HHM
