~~Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester (MMT)
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 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.
