The invention relates to a muscle strength measuring method and device. The inventive device comprises a lower support base (1) on which a patient (2) stands with his/her weight bearing on the plantar surface of the foot/feet. An upper vertically-movable support bracket (5) rests vertically on the head (7) of the patient (2). A position sensor (12) is used to measure the vertical position of the upper support bracket (5) while a lift force sensor (13) is used to measure the lift force applied by the head (7) of the patient (2) against said upper support bracket (5). Plantar support sensors (4a, 4b) are used to monitor the plantar force exerted by the patient (2) on the lower support base (1). The patient tends to grow in height through the use of the short, deep back muscles and the device can be used to measure the effects of self stretching in terms of ranges of values and forces.
Un dispositif selon l'invention comprend une base inférieure d'appui (1) sur laquelle un patient (2) peut reposer debout en appui plantaire. Une console supérieure d'appui (5), déplaçable verticalement, vient en appui vertical sur la tête (7) du patient (2). Un capteur de position (12) permet de mesurer la position verticale de la console supérieure d'appui (5). Un capteur de force de soulèvement (13) permet de mesurer la force de soulèvement appliquée par la tête (7) du patient (2) sur la console supérieure d'appui (5). Des capteurs d'appui plantaire (4a, 4b) permettent de s'assurer de l'appui plantaire du patient (2) sur la base inférieure d'appui (1). Le patient tente de se grandir en faisant fonctionner les muscles courts et profonds du dos, et le dispositif permet de mesurer les effets d'auto grandissement en amplitudes d'auto grandissement et en forces d'auto grandissement.
