Myometry prediction is a tool to make it easy to calculate the muscle strength of different muscle groups in children and adolescents. You get values calculated as torque (Nm). For children between 5 and 15 years, you also get a calculation compared to what is expected (predicted) based on age, weight and gender, presented as a percentage of expected. This makes it possible to compare the presence of muscle weakness between different muscle groups and over time.
Press the “Calculate” button below to enter your values and calculate muscle strength. Or find out more information by clicking the “Learn more” button.

Select muscle groups
There are two pre-selected sets of muscle groups suitable for cerebral palsy and neuromuscular diseases respectively, they differ slightly in terms of starting positions. You can also add and remove muscle groups freely from the list below.
