ABSTRACT:
Different attachments that are connectable to a force transducer in easily interchangeable manner via standardized quick-disconnect coupling arrangements facilitate multiple use and applicability to testing and exercising of a great variety of muscle groups of the human body in compression and tension modes. Microprocessor supervision and control of testing and exercising procedures, providing various direct measurement outputs and testing, exercising, and training criteria as well as characteristic time-dependent measures, allow applicability to a plurality of muscle testing and exercising tasks in clinical, therapeutic, recreational and sport-training situations. Ease of adaptability of the force transducer unit together with the microprocessor control to different tasks facilitates use and operation as well as interpretation of results by persons without the specialized skills heretofore required. Compactness and light weight of the arrangement assures portability.
