Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer: The Ideal Solution for Accurate Muscle Strength Testing

The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer, also known as the Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester, is the ideal tool for physicians and physical therapists who need to accurately quantify muscle strength. This advanced device improves upon the older 01163 MMT model by incorporating enhanced functionality, including wireless data transmission.

How the Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer Works

The Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer is designed to provide precise and reliable muscle strength measurements. During testing, the clinician applies force against the patient’s limb—such as an arm or leg—while the patient resists. The device measures the peak force exerted during the test and the time it takes to overcome or "break" the patient's resistance. These measurements adhere to standard protocols for manual muscle testing, ensuring accurate and consistent results that support clinical assessments and treatment planning.

Key Features of the Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer

• Versatile Stirrups: Includes three easy-to-change molded plastic stirrups with pads for various testing needs.
• Comprehensive Measurements: Records peak force, time to peak force, total test time, time within selectable ranges, average force, end force, average force from peak to end, and percentage decrease from peak force to end force.
• Data Storage: Capable of storing up to 150 tests in onboard memory, with options for automatic or manual data storage.
• Wide Measurement Range: Measures forces from 0 to 300 lbs, accommodating a broad spectrum of muscle strengths.
• Customizable Test Times: Selectable test times ranging from 1 to 10 seconds for tailored evaluations.
• User-Friendly Interface: Features a microprocessor-controlled system with an easy-to-read graphical LCD display and interactive menus, allowing users to customize device options. The device also includes an automatic shutoff feature after 5 minutes of inactivity.
• Battery-Powered: Equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to 6 hours of continuous use. Has a low-battery indicator on the LCD display. 30 minutes of remaining power after the low-battery warning on the LCD.
