Dynamometry

Dynamometry is a technique used to measure muscle strength or force. It involves using a device called a dynamometer, which assesses how much strength a muscle or group of muscles can generate during contraction. For example, it can measure grip strength or the force produced when pushing or pulling. This measurement helps healthcare professionals evaluate muscle function, monitor progress during rehabilitation, or diagnose certain conditions. The process is quick, safe, and provides objective data that can inform treatment decisions or track recovery over time.
