A device for determining a strength profile of a human limb. The device comprises a first tubular member and a support intended to be suspended in a fixed position in relation to a coordinate system X-, y and z-axes. The first tubular member is arranged for holding the human limb and for being in contact with the support via at least one force sensor arranged for detecting forces exercised by the human limb on the first tubular member in directions in the coordinate system when determining the strength profile, wherein the coordinate system is three-dimension and has x-, y and z-axes and the force sensor is/are arranged for detecting forces along each of the x-, y and z-axes. The determined strength profile, for e.g. an arm or a leg of a human subject, can be presented as a table or diagram illustrating the forces and torques the human limb in question can exercise in different directions in the coordinate system. The device according to the invention is a useful tool in ergonomic, orthopaedic and research work.
