A physical therapy diagnostic device for determining muscle strength and tone has now been invented. The device comprises energy absorbing means and an absorbed energy measuring device associated therewith. The energy absorbing means may be a fluid filled cylinder containing a piston connected to a body or muscle contacting member. The energy absorbing means can be rigidly attached to a housing to which pressure may be applied to force the body contacting member against a particular muscle, limb or other body part. The resistance of the muscle, limb or the like to movement causes energy to be absorbed by the energy absorbing means, the quantity of energy absorbed being observable from the measuring device.
