Equipment and method for measurement of parameters of maximal voluntary muscle strength (fivm) of the lower limbs in closed kinetic chain.Consisting of the apparatus formed by a digital load cell (1), coupled to the mechanotherapy equipment (leg press) (2) and (3) computing device, of the type desktop, tablet, notebook, and others, to monitor (4) for the representation of results, and the method initiated after Clear the individual with heating, of at least 5 minutes, in sequence.The individual positioned on the equipment, where held at least three maximum voluntary contractions in succession, for testing, for each lower limb, by pressing the foot against the back plate of the equipment, and maintaining the contractions per period recommended 12 seconds With a maximum degree of contraction, and must be complied with the time interval of, for example, two minutes.Between the contractions for muscle recovery and the results are transferred from the load cell for software of data acquisition, installed on a computer coupled to a dynamometer, to obtain the corresponding results in the quantitative analysis of average isometric force V Oluntu00e1ria maximum (mfivm), peak isometric maximal voluntary force (pfivm)Acceleration and qualitative analysis of the pattern of muscle contraction.
