The CHATILLON® MSC Series is ideal for muscle strength testing, job task analysis and ergonomic evaluations. This compact, easy-to-use force gauge is designed for physical medicine, occupational medicine and sports medicine applications and general patient assessment in family, neurological and orthopedic practices. Simplicity was a key design criteria for both clinicians and technicians. Measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale. A large, easy-to-read, high resolution dot matrix LCD display supports a variety of measurements including normal and peak readings, dominant v. non-dominant comparisons, pass/ fail results, statistical results, load averaging, load comparisons, measurement actuation and direction. Measurements are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The display can be inverted and displayed results may be “hidden” from the patient during testing. The MSC gauge comes standard with carrying case, battery adapter/charger and NIST Certificate of Calibration with data. A variety of testing fixtures are optionally available. The MSC is designated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Class 2 medical device.
