What do you need to know about the microfet 2?

The wireless microFET ® 2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer muscle tester is an accurate, portable Force Evaluation and Testing (FET) device. It is designed specifically for taking objective, reliable, and quantifiable muscle testing measurements. It is a modern adaptation of the time-tested art of hands-on manual muscle tester.

How does microfet work in a muscle test?

The microFET® clinical software automatically performs calculations and validity checks, generates tables and graphs from muscle tester data, creates high-impact session and comparison reports, walks the clinician through selected tests or entire protocols, and provides built-in pictures to demonstrate proper gauge and patient positioning.

Where to place the microfet 2 for elbow flexion?

Elbow Flexion: In order to measure elbow flexion, place the MicroFET 2 on the radial aspect of the forearm. Horizontal Shoulder: Muscle testing for horizontal shoulder works by using the dynamometer on the posterior surface of the upper arm.

How is hip extension measured with microfet 2?

Hip Extension: When you place the transducer on the posterior surface of the upper leg, you can measure for hip extension of the gluteus maximus. Hip Adduction: Working on the medial surface of the upper leg, hip adduction can be measured when the device is closest to the knee.

What is the microfet2 digital manual muscle tester?

The microFET2 Digital Manual Muscle Tester is the bedrock of the microFET product line. This tool is cost-effective and designed with the utmost in ergonomics in mind, accurately and objectively measuring force in multiple planes.

What can you do with a microfet 2 dynamometer?

This gives you more flexibility. The MicroFET 2 Hand Held Dynamometer can be purchased by itself OR with two different software applications that allow therapists and researchers to organize their data. This software makes it easy to collect, organize, and analyze patient muscle test readings using your MicroFET 2 Hand Held Dynamometer.

How is microfet technology used in physical therapy?

microFET technology allows the clinician to document, reinforce, and support a treatment plan. Our microFET toolset is used in research and clinical trials, and in leading hospitals, universities, physical therapy and sports medicine clinics worldwide.
