Lafayette Manual Muscle Test System (MMT) [ Model #01163 ]
|
|
A revolutionary, hand-held strength measurement system
|
|
|
Lafayette Instrument Company revolutionized manual
muscle testing in 1988 with the introduction
of the first hand-held muscle tester. Now with
the introduction of the NEW
Lafayette Manual Muscle Test (MMT) System, we
have done it again...
|
|
... the Lafayette MMT combines precision and
accuracy with a new ergonomic design to provide you with accurate,
objective and reliable results. The three interchangeable padded stirrups
enable you to employ established protocols with efficiency and confidence
while ensuring patient comfort.
The Lafayette MMT features innovations not
employed by any other manual muscle test system on the market. The
interactive menus allow the user to select a wide range of options, such
as, data storage, test times (1-10 seconds) and also offers the choice of
high and low threshold settings (to accommodate large muscles or digits).
The large, easy to read LCD screen displays all information clearly,
reducing the possibility of reading errors or selecting unwanted options.
