Myometer, Pinchmeter & Hand Dynamometer

The MyoMeter, Pinchmeter and Dynamometer connect to the DataLOG, DataLINK or K800 with the H1800 Interconnect Lead.
   
 

MyoMeter M500

The M500 allows the user to quantify the force applied during Manual Muscle Testing.  Manual Muscle Testing is a procedure for the evaluation of the function and strength of individual muscles and muscle groups based on effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity and manual resistance. 

The M500 MyoMeter is held by the examiner with the curved anvil placed against the body part to be tested.  The limb is stabilized and held in the desired starting position.  The patient is instructed to hold the limb in position and resist the force applied by the examiner.  The examiner applies force gradually until the limb is depressed.  The force required to move the limb is referred to as the “breaking force”. 

The M500 MyoMeter is supplied with two anvils:

1 x general purpose (small)

1 x general purpose (large)

By connecting the M500 MyoMeter to the DataLOG or the DataLINK and using the management & analysis software, force may be displayed and analysed in units of Newtons, Kg or lb.  The M500 may also be connected to the general purpose amplifier K800 for direct connection to 3rd party instruments such as A/D cards.

Precision Dynamometer G100

The Biometrics Dynamometer utilises precision load cell technology to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of measurement of even very low grip strength forces.  By using the industry standard Jamar design exterior researchers can compare with standardised normative data.  Total accuracy is better than ± 1%. Full scale 0-90Kg or 0-200lbs.

Precision Pinchmeter P100

 

The unique electronic pinchmeter has a low profile design that enables the researcher to accurately quantify pinch strength at closer to end range than any other device. The total accuracy is better than 1%. Full scale 0-20Kg or 0-50lbs.
Dimensions diameter 45 X 6 mm
Mass 65 g
Accuracy better than 0.6% RL
Rated Load (RL) 0 to 22.5 Kg or 0 to 50 lb
Cable

Direct connection to DataLOG, DataLINK and K800 using cable type no. H1800
         
                                         
                               
     

Strength measurements from the P100 Pinchmeter and G100 Dynamometer can be easily collected with data from other sensors and compared using the DataLINK or DataLOG Analysis Software or exported for analysis in other software.
