PCT No. PCT/CA96/00006 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 29, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/20644 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 11, 1996A myometer is disclosed. The myometer, especially in the form of a force-sensing mitt or cuff, may be used to grasp a limb or other object, and particularly used by a clinician in evaluating the medical state of a limb. The myometer has pressure measuring means at at least two locations to provide quantitative information on pressure applied to the limb or object. Preferably, the pressure is measured by at least two pressure transducers, with especially the difference in pressure being measured. The myometer is particularly in a form capable of fitting on a person's hand, with pressure sensitive pads being located at positions corresponding to thumb and to fingers of the hand.
