System Description:
The new Lafayette Manual Muscle Test System (MMT) is a hand-held device
for objectively quantifying eccentric muscle strength. Using the Lafayette MMT,
the peak force required to break an isometric contraction is measured as the
examiner applies force against the subject. The Lafayette MMT readily lends
itself to large, pre-participation screenings or field examinations where bulky,
more expensive systems do not. The microprocessor control allows for storage
of calibration values and automatic drift compensation, resulting in reliable,
accurate, and stable muscle strength readings. The MMT also features interactive
menus to allow a wide range of options such as data storage and preset test times
to be implemented. While powerful and versatile, the MMT is still small enough
to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand. Its ergonomic design allows for both
patient and tester comfort while easily conforming to most manual muscle testing
protocols.
