Caution:
You must turn off the MMT when changing stirrups.
Stirrup Change:
The MMT comes with three interchangeable stirrups. Each stirrup is designed for different
test applications depending upon what manual muscle test method is used. The flat stirrup is
used for muscle testing in flat areas such as the forehead and back. The large curved stirrup is
used for large limbs such as the arms and legs. The small flat stirrup is for small digits. Each
stirrup is padded for patient comfort. To change stirrups, simply pull the stirrups off of the
shaft and slide the new stirrup on. The stirrups attach to the shaft via a “press fit.” No tools
are required to change the stirrups. In the event that a stirrup breaks or becomes soiled, new
stirrups may be ordered through Lafayette Instrument Company.
Error and Message Screen Summary:
The MMT has special message screens to indicate when certain operations are
completed or when an error has occurred. Selected error messages must be
acknowledged with a user response before normal MMT operation can resume.
Warning messages that require a user response are accompanied by two successive
beeps. The user must press ENTER or RESET to acknowledge the message and
continue operations.
The message screens are as follows:
Low Battery Warning:
This warning is given when a low battery condition has been detected. The warning
is accompanied by two audible beeps. The warning is only given when the device is
turned on or is waking up from Battery Saver Mode. During normal operation, a low
battery condition is also indicated by a battery icon on the Main Measurement Screen.
The low battery warning is
acknowledged and cleared by
pressing the ENTER button.
