Med-legal cases often include, but are not always limited to, personal injury cases, workers’ compensation cases, malpractice cases, and cases involving some degree of medical dispute. The objective medical evidence an evaluator provides can significantly bring value to cases and ultimately facilitate case resolution. Commander Echo provides an effective system for preparing a comprehensive report that summarizes the evaluator’s data and objective findings. The system is easy to use and allows users to quickly and objectively evaluate strength and range of motion as well as other data to help solidify a patient’s case for loss of functional ability.
- Validates any med-legal case with objective range of motion measurements and functional documentation
- Commander Echo Dual Inclinometry gives fast, accurate statistics and documentation of spine extremity range of motion
- Precision muscle testing is perfect for objective measurement of max force resistance for a given muscle or muscle group, helping users discover strength deficits as an important part of their evaluations
Included in this System
Inclinometry
Allows users to objectively evaluate and document range of motion for spine and large extremities.
Muscle Testing
Documents strength of a muscle or group of muscles for a variety of tasks that require a certain level of strength.
Grip
Tests and documents max grip strength at multiple intervals, 5-position grip test, rapid exchange grip, and sustained grip.
Features
- Test protocols can be customized according to number of tests, starting force, Newtons, Kilograms or Pounds and number of repetitions
- Innovative pop-in “quick connect” system makes changing test pads fast and easy
- Quickly and accurately test muscle strength and identify areas of weakness with the tester and Commander Echo Console
- Quantify bilateral strength differences
- Identify patterns of weakness
- Provide objective measure of strength
- Wireless console is independent of the testing device allowing the tester to review data during active testing without influencing the patient’s level of effort
- Performs 5-position, rapid exchange and sustained grip tests
- Displays maximum force, CV, right and left average force and bilateral deficit
- Evaluate voluntary maximal effort
- Establish baselines and monitor progress
- Adjustable test time with fatigue calculation for sustained grip tests
- Digital load cell technology provides greater reliability and durability than other common gauges
- Wireless console is independent of the testing device allowing the tester to review data during active testing without influencing the patient’s level of effort
