We can’t leave it up to guesswork
Measuring strength of the muscles surround the shoulder is critical when assessing shoulder pain.
Often, weakness around the shoulder provides vital information about which tendons of the rotator cuff may be damaged.
It also provides important information about which muscles need to be strengthened for a full recovery.
At Melbourne Shoulder Physiotherapy, we take the guesswork out of assessing muscle strength by using a manual dynamometer. When we measure rotator cuff muscle strength, this device accurately measures the strength of certain movements, and is a critical piece of equipment to get your shoulder, moving pain-free again, in the shortest possible time.
By using a dynamometer, we can target specific muscles and movements that are in need of strengthening, which will promote a full recovery. It provides an objective measure of a patient’s strength.
Using the dynamometer allows us to accurately track your progress, during your rehabilitation.
