DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF ANIMAL FORCE Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering, particularly, devices for measurement of animal force. SUBSTANCE: device supporting plate is rigidly connected with posts. Circular sockets are made on posts for loading plate whose opposite ends have longitudinal and transverse recesses. Lower surface of post sockets connected with transverse recess of loading plate is conical. Installed in middle part of both plates are removable cover plates. Flexible members with strain gages are mounted at ends of supporting plate and closed with protective castings. Device makes it possible to register quickly varying force parameters in time aspect that is of foremost importance in estimation of functional state of man locomotor system and in estimation of efficiency of rehabilitation measures. EFFECT: increased accuracy of registration of quickly varying force parameters of muscles with different cylindrical grips. 3 dwg
