Clinicians need an affordable handheld dynamometer for objective muscle strength testing to replace subjective manual muscle testing (MMT), but available options are either too expensive (hundreds of dollars) or the wrong type (pull-only only).

Existing push-type dynamometers are expensive ($200+), and pull-only alternatives do not support push testing required for MMT replacements.
