What's the difference between dynamograph and dynamometer?
Dynamograph
Definition:
(n.) A dynamometer to which is attached a device for automatically registering muscular power.
Example Sentences:
(1) The different parameters were investigated by EMG during chewing, by EMG synchronized to an opening force dynamograph during static and dynamic conditions, and by EMG synchronized to videofluorography during the open-close-clench cycle.
(2) The paper summarizes the principles, techniques and efficiency of ultrasound methods as indicator systems in the assessment of the peripheral and cerebral arteries; our studies predominantly refer to the use of these simple, non-invasive procedures in combination with sphygmo-oscillography and dynamographic circulation analysis, respectively.
(3) Results from first tests of the oculo-oscillo-dynamograph device and data obtained from 30 healthy persons are discussed.
(4) It was possible in a controlled double-blind study to demonstrate by means of dynamographic measurements the action of raubasine in patients with cerebrovascular disorders.
(5) Electro-encephalo-dynamographic investigations taken from 36 glaucoma patients showed that the autoregulative mechanism in the region of the anterior part of the optic nerve (apon) is disturbed and the ciliary perfusion pressure is altered in a characteristic manner.
(6) An extensive experimental device consisting of a contact-free distance measurement, a dynamograph connected to strain gages and an accelerometer now enabled this investigation.
(7) The neuro-muscular state evaluation was performed with a manual dynamograph.
(8) Dynamographic evaluations were performed 11 months after surgery at the walk and trot.
Dynamometer
Definition:
(n.) An apparatus for measuring force or power; especially, muscular effort of men or animals, or the power developed by a motor, or that required to operate machinery.
Example Sentences:
(1) Equal bilateral skin tension at the suture line, checked with a spring dynamometer, resulted in a marked increase in the amount of skin excised on the presutured side.
(2) The retentive force was measured with a dynamometer.
(3) Isokinetic dynamometers are passive devices which resist applied forces and control the speed of exercise at a predetermined rate.
(4) Body composition was assessed by skinfold measurement and strength measured by dynamometer.
(5) Experimental trials involved maximal leg extensions performed on a Cybex II dynamometer under conditions of euhydration and hypohydration of minus 3% body weight.
(6) The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for measuring and recording static and dynamic external rotation of the glenohumeral joint using the Cybex II Isokinetic Dynamometer and an MFE model 815 X-Y plotter.
(7) The torque forces of elbow extensor musculature of 28 men were tested with an isokinetic dynamometer to determine the relationships between maximal isokinetic torque generated at various speeds and maximal isometric forces at specified angles in the arc of elbow extension.
(8) A review of related literature and trends was used to develop a protocol for testing range of motion, isometric strength, velocity, endurance, and consistency of effort in the low-back pain (LBP) population by the use of the triaxial, Isostation B-200 Lumbar Dynamometer.
(9) Comprised of four octagonal half strain rings, the strain gage dynamometer measures the three moment load components at the boot.
(10) Hip, knee, and ankle joint muscular strength were assessed on a Cybex Leg Press Dynamometer.
(11) Strength and endurance, tested by the Cybex-II isokinetic dynamometer, showed no significant difference between operated and healthy extremity.
(12) Maximum isometric and isokinetic strength of knee extension was measured in 15 patients and 15 healthy matched subjects, using an isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex II).
(13) All subjects were instructed to react to the sudden forward movement of the input arm of the Kin-Com Isokinetic Dynamometer with contraction of the hamstring.
(14) The muscle strength of 11 muscle groups was measured with a hand-held dynamometer.
(15) Eleven subjects squeezed an electronic dynamometer, at each of three force levels, with both their right and left hands.
(16) Selected strength measures were obtained from a Cybex II isokinetic dynamometer at 30 degrees sec-1.
(17) The independent variables were elbow-extensor muscle tone (graded using the Modified Ashworth Scale); active elbow-flexion range-of-motion deficit measured without the influence of gravity; and elbow-flexion strength measured without the influence of gravity with a hand-held dynamometer.
(18) This retrospective study was undertaken to determine the test-retest reliability of hand-held dynamometer strength testing for 18 extremity muscle groups.
(19) After the dynamometer had been set to the position at which the patient had previously achieved maximal grip strength, the patient was instructed to rapidly alternate hands while gripping the dynamometer.
