Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester

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
