<p>A method of assessment of a physiological state of a portion of an animal body such as the wrist of a human, the method recording the velocity of movement against a selected resistance level useful results being achieved with increasing resistance levels and increasing cycles of action being required when compared against controlled subjects. The invention includes assessment of electrical activity magnitude of controlling muscles at the same time and takes into account additional factors including grip in the case of wrist. The invention is also directed to apparatus which can retain the respective body portions such as the forearm and hand of subject and can record rate of change of position and as an additional feature, magnitude of electrical activity of controlling muscles against a common time base.</p> |
