microFET3 Wireless Overview
microFET3 is an accurate, portable Combination Force Evaluation and Range of Motion testing system. It is a
battery operated, hand held device weighing less than one pound and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
microFET3 provides you with objective, quantifiable data from the time-tested art of “hands-on” manual
muscle and range of motion testing. microFET3 aids in the differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment
protocols for the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders.
Recessed into the main outer shell is a polycarbonate overlay with clear lenses for the LCD displays (Liquid
Crystal Display), and 3 membrane switches. A red switch is located to one side of the unit in proximity to
where the thumb or the index finger is positioned during use.
As information from the gauges is processed, it is displayed in two LCD windows. During manual muscle
testing, the Peak Force LCD shows the force being applied against the transducer pad during the test, and it
displays the highest force reached when the test is concluded. The Duration/Secs LCD shows the duration of
the test from the time testing threshold was crossed until the test is concluded.
For inclinometer use the unit is placed on the starting point and an angle is set. The patient moves through the
range of motion and the second angle is set. Then by clicking the cycle switch one more time the difference
between both angles will appear in the left hand LCD window.
The newly updated microFET3 Wireless with radio frequency technology provides convenience for both you
and your patients.
The wireless microFET3, when used with HOGGAN microFET clinical software, alleviates
the inconvenience of being wired to the computer and provides easier interaction with patients. A wireless
instrument allows greater freedom in the exam room or testing area, and eliminates dictating the location of the
computer and length of instrument cable so you can move freely during testing.
The microFET3 can also be used as a standalone gauge for capturing individual force measurements for any
muscle test and inclinometry test.
