Muscle strength evaluation apparatus and muscle strength measurement tool of the psoas muscle

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a myodynamia evaluation apparatus of the musculus psoas major quickly measuring and evaluating the myodynamia of the musculus psoas major with a lightweight and simple constitution. PSOLUTION: This myodynamia evaluation apparatus of the musculus psoas major is provided with a pair of movable arm parts 1A and 1B having one sides put along the left/right knee parts; a strain sensor part 10 turnably connecting and supporting the other end sides of the pair of movable arm parts 1A and 1B, disposed in a crotch part and detecting the strain caused by turning displacement associated with the opening/closing of the left/right knee parts of the pair of movable arm parts 1A and 1B; and a myodynamia evaluation means 20 calculating a torque according to the myodynamia of the musculus psoas major on the basis of the detecting result of the strain sensor part 10 and evaluating the myodynamia of the musculus psoas major. This apparatus quickly measures the myodynamia of the musculus psoas major of a subject M with the lightweight and simple constitution. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
