ABSTRACT:
A technique and apparatus for muscle strength testing. A gauged pressure sensitive device is applied to the muscle while pressure to the muscle is gradually increased to a point just short of the muscle breaking point. The applied pressure at this pre-breaking point is measured to provide an objective measure of muscle strength. The gauged pressure sensitive device may be an air bag connected to a pressure gauge, the air bag being placed between the pressure source and the muscle, thereby allowing the applied pressure to be measured.
