Myoviscoelastometer
(MVEM) is a
PC-based device for nondestructive evaluation of viscoelastic characteristics
of the near-surface muscles of the human body. The MVEM consists of a
specialized tiny gauge to measure complex stiffness (mechanical impedance),
an interface card for a standard ISA slot on an IBM compatible PC and special
MS DOS software.
The system
provides:
- A plot on the PC
display of the time variation of viscoelastic parameters of soft tissues: the
normalized real (E) and imaginary (V) parts of tissue complex stiffness, its
module (M) with time resolving power of 0.1 s;
- Single-point
measurements of viscoelastic characteristics in any chosen moment: E and M in
the range of 0.1-100 kPa with accuracy of 0.1 kPa, V in the
range of 0.8-800 Pa*s with accuracy of 0.8 Pa*s;
- Measurement of
average values and standard deviations of viscoelastic characteristics in the
chosen time interval;
- Secondary indices
describing the variation of viscoelastic characteristics in any two moments;
- A clinical report
of the results;
- A hardcopy of the
time curves on a standard printer;
- A patient-oriented
database.
