Abstract

PURPOSE:To correctly judge the exercise function of the lower limb of a person under test by setting the lower limb on a pedal fixed to a movable rod, and applying a force to the pedal with the tip of the lower limb in the region from the bent position of the lower limb to the preset extended position. CONSTITUTION:A rod driving device 30 is driven to deliver a rod 6 from an air cylinder 5 from the state that a person under test bends a knee and sets the tip of the lower limb on a pedal 15, and the rod 6 is stopped in the state that the tested person extends the knee to the preset position. The tested person depresses the pedal 15 with the tip of the lower limb in the moving process of the rod 6. A horizontal force FH in the moving direction of the rod 6 and a vertical force FV working downward perpendicularly to the horizontal force FH are applied to the pedal 15 by the depression. The vertical force FV is detected by distortion gauges 17a, 17b, the detected signal is outputted from a load cell 17, the horizontal force FH is applied to a bar-shaped load cell 10 via a cotter 18, and the detected signal is outputted from the bar-shaped load cell 10. The lower limb function of the tested person is vectorially analyzed by an arithmetic circuit, and the analyzed result is displayed on a display unit.

(1) While the subject is sitting on a chair, the tip of the lower leg is attached to a pedal attached to a movable rod extending forward from the chair in the area from the position where the lower limb is bent to the position where the lower limb is extended. This is a muscle strength measurement device that applies force to measure the muscle strength of the subject, and includes a horizontal force sensor that is attached to the pedal and detects the force applied from the lower limb in the longitudinal direction of the rod; a vertical force sensor that is attached to a pedal and detects a force applied from the lower limb in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; and a rod drive device that moves and stops the rod in the axial direction under preset movement conditions. A muscle strength measuring device comprising:
