Basics of Operation:
The Lafayette MMT is small enough to be held in
one hand and easily read. The size and weight of the
MMT permit the examiner to use the same
procedures and break test techniques
(described in the literature and taught
by academic institutions) without
any modification of technique or
positioning. The unit is simply placed
between the examiner’s hand and the
limb being tested. The examiner’s
downward force is transmitted to the
limb through the MMT unit. The MMT is
designed for one hand operation.
It can comfortably fit in the right or left hand.
The hand is placed under the strap and around
the body of the MMT. This allows easy access to the
RESET button (1) with the thumb. All of the other buttons are pressed using the opposite
hand.
The MMT is activated by sliding the power switch to the “ON” position (2).
Measurements are taken by pressing the padded stirrup against the muscle being tested on
the subject. The force and time data are displayed on the LCD screen (3) on the face of
the MMT.
