Lafayette Instrument

Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester combines precision and accuracy with a new ergonomic design to provide you with accurate, objective and reliable results. The three interchangeable padded stirrups enable you to employ established protocols with efficiency and confidence while ensuring patient comfort.

 

The Lafayette MMT features innovations not employed by any other manual muscle test system on the market. The interactive menus allow the user to select a wide range of options, such as, data storage, test times (1-10 seconds) and also offers the choice of high and low threshold settings (to accommodate large muscles or digits). The large, easy to read LCD screen displays all information clearly, reducing the possibility of reading errors or selecting unwanted options.
