PORTABLE NON-INVASIVE DEVICE FOR PERFORMING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION STRENGTH AND ESTIMATING MOTOR UNITS IN MUSCLE FIBRES IN INDIVIDUALS.

摘要

The portable non-invasive device for performing diagnostic tests of muscular strength and estimating motor units in muscle fibres in individuals refers to a device that performs an objective diagnosis of the evaluated muscle. The rating scale of the current muscle contraction strength is obtained in an empiric manner, focussing on the experience of the practitioner. It is required to develop a different method with the same rating scale described by the medical research council for objectively evaluating the muscular strength and estimating the motor units in muscles of patients so as to monitor the increase or decrease thereof and provide an objective test result.
