This is a technical report describing how to use the Manual Evaluation Diaphragm (MED) scale, the only evaluation scale in the world to generate a value for the mobility of the main respiratory muscle. In a previously published paper, we described how the areas of the diaphragm should be palpated correctly because a valid manual diaphragmatic evaluation was lacking in the literature. The MED scale emerged as a logical consequence of manual palpation, to provide reference values and allow comparisons between the assessments of different health professionals in multidisciplinary teams. The scale is the first non-instrumental approach to obtaining data on diaphragm function and provides parameters by which the effects that a therapeutic approach has on the diaphragm can be measured.
The wireless microFET2 Digital Handheld Dynamometer muscle tester is an accurate, portable Force Evaluation and Testing (FET) device. It is designed specifically for taking objective, reliable, and quantifiable muscle testing measurements. It is a modern adaptation of the time-tested art of hands-on manual muscle testing. The microFET2 aids in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders. Now with wireless capability, you can enjoy freedom from inconvenient cord tangling and being wired to the data-collecting computer. No more cables, cords, or wires.
This unique, handheld dynamometer muscle tester is battery operated, weighs less than a pound, and is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. The microFET2 muscle tester is microprocessor controlled, to provide accurate, repeatable muscle strength readings.
The microFET software package automatically performs calculations and validity checks, generates tables and graphs from muscle tester data, creates high-impact session and comparison reports, walks the clinician through selected tests or entire protocols, and provides built-in pictures to demonstrate proper gauge and patient positioning. (At this time, the software is compatible with Windows operating systems XP or newer.)
Your Purchase Includes: Wireless microFET2 Digital Handheld Muscle Tester, Flat Transducer Pad, Curved Transducer Pad, Digit Transducer Pad, User Manual, Calibration Certificate, Wall Pack Power Supply, and Carrying Case. 1 year standard warranty included, with extended warranties available.
MicroFet Software Package
This is an easy-to-use muscle tester/digital handheld dynamometer platform providing muscle and spinal range of motion protocols. Patient tracking, analysis, and comparison statistics are collected and narrative and graphic reports can be generated.
FET Data Collection Software Package
This muscle tester/digital handheld dynamometer program is designed for research and education applications. The program simultaneously captures raw test data while displaying a real-time graph of the data. The data is saved in comma-separated values (CSV) format and can be opened in most spreadsheet programs for further analysis.
Methods: Patients with PM/DM (73 children and 45 adults) were assessed at baseline and reevaluated 6-9 months later. We compared Total MMT (a group of 24 proximal, distal, and axial muscles) and Proximal MMT (7 proximal muscle groups) tested bilaterally on a 0-10 scale with 144 subsets of 6 and 96 subsets of 8 muscle groups tested unilaterally. Expert consensus was used to rank the best abbreviated MMT subsets for face validity and ease of assessment.
Results: The Total, Proximal, and best MMT subsets had excellent internal reliability (Total MMT r(s) = 0.91-0.98), and consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.78-0.97). Inter- and intrarater reliability were acceptable (Kendall's W 0.68-0.76, r(s) = 0.84-0.95). MMT subset scores correlated highly with Total and Proximal MMT scores and with the Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale, and correlated moderately with physician global activity, functional disability, magnetic resonance imaging, and axial and distal MMT scores, and, in adults, with creatine kinase level. The standardized response mean for Total MMT was 0.56 in juveniles and 0.75 in adults. Consensus was reached to use a subset of 8 muscles (neck flexors, deltoids, biceps, wrist extensors, gluteus maximus and medius, quadriceps, and ankle dorsiflexors) that performed as well as the Total and Proximal MMT, and had good face validity and ease of assessment.
The Muscle Manual Textbook New 2021 Edition contains evidence based, easily accessible information on topics including musculoskeletal anatomy, anatomical variation, kinesiology, muscle testing, palpation, osteology, biomechanics, trigger point referral patterns, nerve and vessel pathways, differential diagnosis, massage and soft tissue techniques and much more.
Used as a required text for many colleges and universities, this text is a valuable study guide for students, therapists and doctors preparing for board exams, oral practical exams, objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) and many other licensure examinations.
The quick reference evidence informed Muscle Manual is designed as a quick reference guide for health care students, therapist, practitioners, doctors and instructors, and as a companion to the Physical Assessment Manual, Orthopedic Conditions Manual and Physical Medicine Manual.
This text bridges the gap between classroom education and practical clinical application. It contains current, easily accessible information on topics including musculoskeletal anatomy, anatomical variation, kinesiology, muscle testing, palpation, osteology, biomechanics, trigger point referral patterns, peripheral neurology, differential diagnosis, treatment techniques and much more.
Content validity of the MMT was determined by a panel of expert pediatric and adult PTs, and Rheumatologists experienced in evaluating myositis. Each expert ranked items quantitatively and qualitatively and recorded whether a particular muscle group could not be tested accurately. From the results of this panel, concluded that the instrument has strong content validity (Rider, L.G. et al., 2010).
Standardized response means for Total MMT was 0.56 in juvenile IIM and 0.75 in patients with adult PM/DM. Using relative efficiencies, the Proximal MMT score was slightly less responsive relative to the Total MMT score in juvenile IIM, but slightly more responsive in adults with PM/DM (Rider, L.G. et al., 2010).

The newest Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer combines all of the features of the previous model with the addition of an algometer attachment, advanced menus to store testing setups, increased storage, and improved battery life.
Hand-Held Dynamometry is a valid and proven assessment tool used for objectively quantifying muscle strength. The Lafayette HHD (formerly known as the Manual Muscle Tester) has a high inter/intrarater reliability and is the ideal instrument for documenting medical necessity or tracking the progress during a rehabilitation or a strength training program.
For more information about using Hand-Held Dynamometry, MET has published a guide providing clinicians with resources for applying evidence-based practices. Simplified documentation is split into 5 detailed sections covering many areas of use.
