Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a device for measuring flexion and extension muscle strength of fingers. Background technique
[0002] Brachial plexus injury, nerve entrapment, and partial finger defect are common clinical diseases in hand surgery, which will affect the flexion and extension muscle strength of one or more fingers. At present, the measurement of flexion and extension muscle strength of a single finger of the other four fingers except the thumb has not been systematically studied. The commonly used muscle strength evaluation method is manual muscle testing (MMT), which divides muscle strength into 0-5 grades. The evaluation method is too general. For example, the judgment of grade 2 / 3 is based on resistance to self-gravity, but the self-gravity of the finger is very small, so the judgment result is not suitable for clinical evaluation of the disease and recovery follow-up. It is imperative to accurately measure the flexor and extensor muscle st...
