Lafayette MMT:
The Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester (MMT) is an ergonomic hand-held device for objectively quantifying muscle strength.
- Tests are performed with the clinician applying force to the limb of a patient.
- The objective is for the clinician to overcome or "break" the patient's resistance.
- The MMT records the peak force and the time required to achieve the "break" providing reliable, accurate and repeatable muscle strength readings that conform to most manual muscle testing protocols.
- While the MMT is terrific for measuring a wide range of strengths, it's also effective at detecting minor variations as well.
- The MMT's interactive menu allows the user to select a wide range of options, such as data storage, test times (1-10 seconds) and choice of high and low force threshold settings.
- The large, easy-to-read LCD screen clearly displays all information, helping to ensure accuracy and reduce errors.
- Includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 3 easy to change moulded plastic stirrups with pads and a fully illustrated instruction manual.
- The MMT displays results in both pounds and kilograms.
- Features a dual measurement range (0-300 lbs. or 0-50 lbs.) for increased sensitivity.
- Unit has a weight capacity of up to 300 lbs.
- On-board storage of up to 150 test results with browsing capability.
- Fully charged, the rechargeable battery offers 6 hours of continuous use.
- To save battery life, unit will automatically shut-off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
- Available separately, optional data transfer software allows Bluetooth communication between the Manual Muscle Tester and computer
