Mechanography

Mechanography measures muscle function via ground reaction forces.

Last updated

Mechanography, also called jumping mechanography or Muscle Mechanography, is a diagnostic method that measures ground reaction forces during everyday movements such as chair rises and jumps. From these forces, physical parameters like relative maximum force, velocity, power output, and jump height are calculated. Its use of common motions yields high reproducibility across a wide age range.
