What is the maximum force the MyoMeter can measure?

The MyoMeter can measure forces up to 50 kg with an accuracy better than 1%.

Hand Held Dynamometer

The Hand Held Dynamometer (MyoMeter) allows the user to quantify the force applied during manual muscle strength testing, which 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.

Muscle Strength Testing

Connect with a wired or wireless interface, the 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 position. The patient is instructed to hold the limb in position and resist the force applied by the examiner. The examiner gradually applies force until the limb is depressed, the force required to move the limb is referred to as the "breaking force".

The MyoMeter delivers outstanding precision and versatility. It measures forces up to 50 kg / 110 lb with an accuracy better than 1%, ensuring you receive reliable data to inform your professional decisions. With the ability to measure force in Newtons, kilograms, or pounds, you can choose the unit that best suits your needs. The device also includes both a small and a large anvil, providing flexibility for testing various muscle groups.

Biometrics Hand Held Dynamometer is used extensively where measurements are commonly taken for a wide range of applications such as:

Manual Muscle Testing: Obtain reliable, quantifiable data to assess the strength of individual muscles or muscle groups, leading to more targeted and effective interventions.

Bilateral Strength Testing: Compare and contrast the muscle strength on both sides of the body to identify any imbalances, aiding in the creation of personalized training or recovery plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Biometrics Handheld Dynamometer, also known as the MyoMeter, is a device designed to measure muscle strength during manual testing. It offers health, fitness and research professionals an objective way to assess individual muscle function and strength.

The MyoMeter is held against the body part to be tested while the patient or client resists the force applied by the examiner. The device measures the "breaking force," or the force required to move the limb, providing an objective measurement of muscle strength.

The MyoMeter can measure force in Newtons, kilograms, or pounds, providing versatility to suit your needs.

The MyoMeter can measure forces up to 50 kg / 110 lbs with an accuracy better than 1%.
