                                            MUSCLE STRENGTH AND FATIGUE TESTING

Quantitative Muscle Assessment "QMA" is a muscle strength and fatigue testing system
that acquires the measured maximal
voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) efforts of a
subject or patient utilizing fixed and hand held myometry. 

QMA is currently the muscle assessment system of choice in university hospitals, clinics and
institutions in Europe, the Middle East, and North America - Canada and the United States, in the continuing research of neuromuscular and motor neuron diseases.

Several articles are published each year from research utilizing the QMA System. 
Published articles and referrals may be viewed at the following: 
Publications
No research or resulting publications are sponsored or underwritten by those associated with the manufacture or development of the QMA System.   

QMA is used by healthcare professionals to evaluate the rehabilitative progress of patients, to document the percentage change from a previous visit and to compare each muscle or muscle group tested to an expected "normal" - based on age, gender, and body mass index (BMI).

The QMA System was registered with the FDA as a Class 1 medical device in 2007: REGISTRATION

Fixed Myometry - Tests may be constructed, conducted and analyzed on any muscle or muscle group that can be isolated and effort exerted against a fixed point.  Categories of tests include strength and static and dynamic fatigue.  Examples of tests include; but are not limited to, elbow extension & flexion, knee flexion & extension , shoulder abduction & adduction, & ankle dorsiflexion.
                                                   
Hand Held Myometry - Hand held input equipment with analog output (HHM) may be used to replicate manual muscle testing (MMT).    Categories of tests include strength and static and dynamic fatigue.  HHM provides an increased range of muscles and muscle groups to be tested and assessed than fixed myometry, but may be less accurate in larger muscle (s) due to breaking the "plane of resistance" - compromising or moving the point of resistance established by the tester.

QMA PORTABLE SYSTEM
- Fixed and Hand Held input equipment placed in a portable pelican case with a SINGLE retractable data cable - complete, portable, accurate and easy to use.

Components of the system  - describes and illustrates the components of the QMA system.

Hand Grip  - A hand dynamometer with analog output to measure hand grip strength and fatigue.

Pinch Test - Key, Tip and Palmar strength and fatigue with analog output.

Tongue Appliance - Test tongue strength with analog output.  (Utilized in ALS Bulbar research)

Timed Test - Integrated stopwatch acquires elapsed time of test, (i.e. three stair climb, etc.)

Direct Data Input  - Other data may be entered as a test - examples, include: blood pressure, weight, height, any required or desired data taken during the visit.
 

Patient Progress Report - NEW
Complete professional reports are automatically populated for patient evaluation:  Document the longitudinal rehabilitative progress of your patients, automatically calculates percentage change from previous visits, and anticipated "normal"  based on age, gender & BMI, and percentage deviation from normal.    US and European formats are illustrated.

DATA MANAGEMENT
EXPORT TO EXCEL INFO & EXAMPLES 
All acquired data may be compiled, queried, and exported seamlessly to MS Excel for comparative longitudinal analysis.
