HUR Labs Research Line

The HUR Labs Research Line Leg Extension / Curl unit represents the state of the art in Muscular Performance Testing. High - accuracy strength and angle sensors measure performance output during dynamic movement.

A chain is never stronger than its weakest link and by targeted muscular testing we can pinpoint the weaknesses. This applies both to Rehabilitation, Sports as well as Research. We believe that in muscular performance testing there are three different factors to be examined:

1. Maximum Strength which is measured during static conditions. It will give you information on for example Muscular Balance on Force Recruitment characteristics.

2. The Force - Velocity characteristics will give you information on how much force the muscles can produce at different velocities. This is of crucial importance in sports where forces have to be produced in fractions of a second.

3. Fatigue Characteristics. This gives you information on the metabolic components of muscular performance. For example how long you are able to maintain a preset level of force and how fast the performance output will drop with an increasing number of repetitions

In order to be able to pinpoint the actual reasons for improvement we need to isolate the individual muscle groups and measure their performance characteristics directly.

HUR Labs Research Line Software Suite

The HUR Labs Research Line Software Suite controls the HUR Leg extension / Curl unit. There are predefined protocols for
>>  Maximum Strength
>>  Force / Velocity
>>  Fatigue

There is also a General Data Acquisition module for easy data acquisition. The gathered data can easily be exported for further analysis.
