Portable Manual Muscle Testing Made Easy

Most clinic practices are a combination of rehabilitation practitioners. With multiple practitioners comes the need for multiple rehabilitation devices. It can be difficult to outfit an entire clinic with necessary equipment that is reliable, space conscious and innovative. Additionally, it can be difficult to have multiple devices that records patient data in separate locations, which can lead to confusion if a patient sees more than one practitioner within a clinic.

Manual muscle testing is an important part of the rehabilitation process, from beginning to end. Not only will muscle testing give an initial baseline of strength and identify any potential deficits, it also helps track progress for each patient’s journey through rehabilitation.

Therefore, for clinics with multiple practitioners, it’s important to have a MMT device for each practitioner that can establish strength results and store patient’s manual muscle testing results in one convenient location.

For these practices, they need to look no further than the JTech Commander Echo Manual Muscle Testing Device and Console.

What is the JTech Commander Echo Console?

Description: The JTech Commander Echo Console is a unique modular device giving clinics wireless, portable evaluation equipment that remains valuable and functional even as a clinic grows.

The Benefits of a Modular Device

With a modular device, clinics have the ability to purchase only the handheld dynamometers and evaluation tools they need, but still have the ability to add on later. This wireless, portable evaluation system allows clinics to record data for up to 7 different instruments at a time.

In an age where patient charting is imperative, the Echo console automatically collects data, stores results, computes statistics and automatically prompts for the next test when practitioners are running tests in a particular series.

Not only that, but the Commander Echo Console makes it easy for practitioners to select the appropriate test, delete any impertinent information all with the use of an easy to use control stick. The Console was designed with a large LCD window with easy-to-read screen as well as pre-programmed test sequencing and the capability to automatically calculate statistics so practitioners can focus on testing protocols.

Additionally, the console can measure in pounds, kilograms, Newtons and degrees depending on your clinic’s needs. Further, the console is wireless independent of the evaluation device which allows the practitioner to easily review testing results during testing without interrupting the flow of the test.

The Benefits of the JTech Commander Echo Console

Multiple Practitioners: The Commander Echo Console was designed to record data for up to 7 different manual muscle testing devices, giving clinics the ability to store their patient data in one place. And with the ability to add on devices, clinics can start out with the dynamometers they need and add devices as their practice grows.

In addition to dynamometers, clinics can use appropriate inclinometer, algometer, pinch dynamometer, goniometer, static force gauge dynamometer and grip dynamometer to perform comprehensive strength testing.

Easy Data Collection: The JTech Echo Console was designed with ease in mind, so it automatically collects data and stores patients results. The console was programmed with automatic test sequencing and has the ability to compute statistics making for easy analysis.

Practices have the option to purchase the accompanying Echo downloader software to help their practitioners create detailed reports with the simple click of a few buttons. The downloader software was designed to use with the Echo console in order to efficiently and easily eliminate any dictation or transcription errors. With format options, reports can be as detailed with patient information as needed. Full color reports are easy to read and can be used to simply track patient progress.

Simple to Use: The Commander Echo Console was designed specifically to be simple to use with a control-stick operation so practitioners can easily select tests and delete unwanted information efficiently. Using Bluetooth technology, the software connects seamlessly with the console for uninterrupted testing and collection of results. The software also quickly creates forms from collected data.
