Lafayette Manual Muscle Testing Device (MMT) is an ergonomic hand-held device for objectively quantifying muscle strength. The test is performed with the clinician applying force to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to overcome or break the resistance of the patient. The MMT records the peak force and the time required to achieve the break providing reliable, accurate, and stable muscle strength readings that conform to most manual muscle testing protocols.

 

Manual Muscle Testing Device Measures

 

  • Peak force
  • Time to reach peak force
  • Total test time
  • Time within selectable ranges
  • Average force

  • Care should be taken not to drop the MMT, as it may affect the calibration.
  • Exceeding the force limit (300lbs/136kg/1335N) may permanently damage and/or invalidate the calibration of the MMT.
  • Upon initial receipt of MMT, charge for 2 hours.
