Precautions
• When performing repeated tests, inconsistent placement of the HHD will adversely affect scores.
• Extreme temperature, especially heat, may affect the values obtained.
• The HHD cannot tolerate the stress of being used as a floor scale.
• Care should be taken not to drop the HHD, as it may affect the calibration.
• Exceeding the force limit (300lbs/136kg/9999kPa/1335N) may permanently damage and/or invalidate the calibration of the HHD.
• Upon initial receipt of HHD, charge for 2 hours.
• This device uses a Lithium-Ion battery as a power source. It is recommended that the battery be charged at least once every six
months. Failure to periodically charge the battery may result in battery damage or device malfunction.
Basic Operations
The Lafayette HHD is small enough to be held in one hand and easily read. The size and weight of the HHD permit the examiner to use
the same procedures and break test techniques described in the literature and taught by academic institutions without any modification
of technique or positioning. The unit is simply placed between the examiner's hand and the limb being tested. The examiner's
downward force is transmitted to the limb through the HHD unit. It can comfortably fit in the right or left hand, with settings for both
dexterities. The hand is placed under the strap and around the body of the HHD. This allows easy access to the TOP buttons with the
thumb. All of the other buttons are pressed using the opposite hand.
The HHD is activated by pressing and holding the Menu/Select button. Measurements are
taken by positioning the padded stirrup against the muscle being tested on the subject. The
force and time data are displayed on the LCD screen. To conserve battery life, the HHD will
deactivate itself when not in use for five minutes. All data on the main screen at power down is
saved and will be shown when the HHD is activated again.
Function Buttons
The HHD has five function buttons that control the menus and allow the selection of options
and settings.
1. POWER/MENU/SELECT Button: The round MENU/SELECT button is located on the
bottom middle of the HHD. This is the button used to power on the device. Holding
the MENU/SELECT button for 5 seconds will power off the unit. It is placed for easy
access regardless of right or left hand operation. The MENU/SELECT allows you to enter
into the Menu screen and select various options within it.
2, 3. NAVIGATION Buttons: : While on the Test screen the NAVIGATION buttons are used to
enlarge the graph and return back to the Test screen from the enlarged graph, or scroll
though tests when in test scrolling mode. While in the Menu screen, the NAVIGATION
buttons are used to navigate the various menu screens.
4, 5. TOP buttons: On the Main screen the TOP buttons are used to CLEAR and START tests
when applicable. On the menu screen these buttons are used to return back one
screen, BACK, or return to the Test screen, TEST. These buttons can be flipped for a
specific dexterity by changing the button orientation in the OPTIONS menu.
