What Can the JTECH Echo Muscle Tester Do?
The JTECH Digital Muscle Testing System is used to convey a subject’s ability to resist force for a given muscle or muscle group. Also used for determining Max force a subject can exert. Muscle strength testing is designed to objectively assess strength and provide solid evidence of functional losses and improvements through treatment.
Benefits of Computerized Manual Muscle Testing Systems
Hand Held Dynamometers are a reliable and simple device for testing muscle strength. Not only are they accurate but they are extremely portable.
Common fixed isokinetic devices are much more expensive to own and operate. Not to mention impractical for many clinical setting as they are ”fixed” in one place. The Commander Echo MMT on the other hand is lightweight, rechargeable, and just as accurate.
Computerized Muscle Testing Device, like the Commander Echo MMT Starter Kit, further increase simplicity and speed at which MMT procedures take place. The JTECH HHD provides increased accuracy and repeatability over old-fashioned muscle testing techniques.
Less time testing patients is good for you and your customers. HHD’s are a much more economical way to gather accurate MMT data in less time.
