Features
Tendon hammers can be used to stimulate muscle spindles, which elicit muscle contractions. They also provide triggering, timer, or marker signals. A piezo-electric sensor within the head produces a momentary pulse whenever a surface is struck with the hammer.
The Tendon Hammer Sensor plugs into the PowerLab T1 or straight into a Windows or macOS® computer via USB connection, and can be used in Lt and Lt LabStation.
Applications of PowerLab Sensors Tendon Hammer
