Abstract:
A therapy evaluation machine used for measuring range of motion during the rehabilitation of an injury to a patient's wrist, hand or fingers. The machine includes a horizontal machine base with first and second frame members. A torque bar is mounted on the frame members and adapted for gripping by the patient's healthy and injured hand. A range of motion scale is mounted on the torque bar for visually measuring range of motion in degrees by the healthy and injured hand or fingers and to measure progress as the injured hand or fingers begin to heal. Also, the machine includes a strain gauge mounted on the torque bar and connected to a computer with digital display. The strain gauge is used for originating resistance on the torque bar and measuring torque applied thereto.
