STRETCH REFLEX MEASURING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stretch reflex measuring apparatus capable of estimating a neuropathic part and evaluating the degree of affection without depending on the skill and experience of a measuring person.

SOLUTION: This stretch reflex measuring apparatus comprises a tendon striker with a built-in force sensor; an analysis device for carrying out analysis processing of data of the force sensor of the tendon striker and an acceleration sensor; and a computer for displaying data processed by the analysis device. The stretch reflex measuring apparatus is constituted to estimate the neuropathic part of a measured person and to evaluate the degree of affection by measuring stretch reflex provoked when stimulating the tendon of the measured person with the tendon striker.
