Advantages:
- Portable & Lightweight – Ideal for clinics with limited space
- Accurate & Replicable – Eliminates human error for reliable results
- Motorized Torque Input – Ensures consistent, precise measurements
- Real-Time Monitoring – Arduino-based control system for tracking rehabilitation
- Ergonomic & Comfortable – Foam padding and adjustable Velcro straps for a secure fit
Summary:
Traditional isoinertial devices like Biodex System 4 are bulky and non-portable, while portable options like Vald DynaMo rely on manual force application, leading to inconsistent and examiner-dependent results. This lack of a portable, examiner-independent solution creates a critical gap in leg strength assessment and rehabilitation tracking.
LIMB is a portable, motorized device with a torque sensor and electric motor for precise, objective measurements. It eliminates examiner bias, offers real-time tracking via an Arduino-based system, and ensures consistent, replicable data. Preliminary tests confirm that LIMB detects muscle instabilities with greater accuracy than manual methods. With ergonomic padding and adjustable straps, it is ideal for clinics, sports medicine, and research.
