On a daily basis, every physical therapist interprets their patient’s muscular strength, whether consciously or subconsciously. Because there are many disorders that affect muscle strength, being able to quantify the strength of a muscle or muscle group is essential. Muscle strength is a major determining factor in movement, and having accurate measurements are therefore crucial to gaining insight into both the progression of a condition as well determining the success of treatment therapies. The BioFet muscle dynamometer is the objective provider of methodical data. It delivers important patient data, informing the practitioner on consultations, as well as other parties interested in following the empirical development of a patient’s strength.
In addition to effectively performing accurate measurements, the wireless electronic device is extremely handy, ergonomic, and lightweight. A therapist can simply carry it by hand to different workspaces. This innovative device accurately records and displays the maximum force and time (in seconds) exerted on a transducer. Forces are measured from a range of 0.1 pounds to 300 pounds and can be displayed in pounds (Lbs), kilos (Kg), and newtons (N) in increments of 0.1 units of measurement.
The BioFet is designed specifically as a stand-alone device. However, supplementary information can be stored on a patient’s digital file in real-time via a Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connection
The general objective of implementing the BioFet is to integrate, strengthen and enhance clinical and academic expertise in the field of physical medicine. BioFet utilization adds credible value for various purposes:
- Clinical: Implementation of findings in clinical care
- Research: Stimulating clinical research
- Education: Involving data in clinical education
- Policy: Requiring evidence-based treatments
