Clinical Fatigue Test
The assessment of clinical manifestation of muscle fatigue is an effective procedure in establishing therapeutic exercise dose. Few studies have evaluated physical therapist reliability in establishing muscle fatigue through detection of changes in quality of movement patterns in a live setting.
Dosing Guidelines
Our objective-based standardized guidelines for proper exercise dosing based on clinical fatigue.
Prescription Format
Used to help determine the precise dose of a therapeutic exercise. The result of an isometric dynamometry test determines the initial test dose for a clinical fatigue test. The result of the clinical fatigue test will then determine the therapeutic exercise dose. Each dynamometric test is performed in the posture and position of the selected exercise.

Hand-Held Dynamometry
Precision dosing of medical exercise therapy requires an accurate and consistent performance measurement throughout the course of treatment. This is why we developed standard guidelines for the application of Hand-Held Dynamometry in daily clinical practice.

BEYOND THE NORDIC HAMSTRING CURL
Are Appropriately Designed and Dosed Eccentrics part of your Early Treatment Plan? Not even 25 minutes into the opening game of the 2018 World Cup, Russian midfielder Alan Dzagoev pulled his hamstring.
METPICK: IS IT TIME TO REFRAME HOW WE CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH NON-TRAUMATIC MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN?
The majority of persistent non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain disorders do not have a pathoanatomical diagnosis that adequately explains the individual’s pain experience and disability. We contend this has resulted in two concerning developments in the management of people with such disorders.
OPTIMIZATION – GOING BEYOND NORMALIZATION
MET strives to deliver optimal improvements for our patients and clients. Optimal improvement is defined as:
Achieving improvements in 4 outcome domains which,
Are meaningful (such as an improvement equal or greater than the MDC and/or MID), and
Result in reduced risk for recurrence; improved community independence; and overall healthier individuals.
