Apparatus and method of measurement of the torsion forces and bending that can withstand the limbs lower of a human body.

摘要

Measurement of the torsional and bending capabilities of the lower extremities of a human body is accomplished by applying torsional (twisting) and bending (pitching) forces to the lower extremities through the muscular strength of a subject and to the limit of significant pain or discomfort. Means are provided for measuring the applied forces to provide torsional and bending indices, and which indices may be correlated for a variety of purposes desired.
