Dynamometer Hand-Held

The Hand-Held Dynamometer is the latest upgrade of the old Lafayette Manual Muscle tester. It combines all of the features of the previous model with the addition of an algometer attachment, advanced menus to store testing setups, increased storage, and improved battery life. It is an ergonomic hand-held device used for objectively quantifying muscle strength. The test is performed with the clinician stabilizing the dynamometer to the limb of a patient. The objective of the test is for the clinician to resist the patient’s applied force. The HHD records the peak force and the time required to achieve the force providing reliable, accurate, and stable muscle strength readings. Brand - Lafayette.
