Stressometer Comby™

Measuring scale

 

The Stressometer Comby™ being the first instrument measuring human tremor, there existed previously before this instrument no standard, universal and validated tremor scale until now. Therefore the IBC (Institut Bruno Comby) has developed a standard reference scale for the measurement of human tremor.

After 15 years of clinical research and studies, and more than 50 000 measurements, the IBC has defined a linear accelerometric scale expressed in TNR COMBY units as follows.

 

1 TNR COMBY™ unit = 6,66 . 10-4 m/s2

 

A sine-wave trembling at 10 Hz of 1 µm (micrometer) in amplitude corresponds to 6 TNR COMBY™ units.

The results displayed by the STRESSOMETER COMBY™ type ADTM 60 are located between 0 (total immobility) and 999 TNR COMBY™ units.

 

____________ 0 ____________


Normal tremor: 0 to 25 TNR™

___________ 25 ___________


Medium tremor: 25 to 50 TNR™

___________ 50 ___________


High tremor:   50 to 100 TNR™

___________ 100 ___________


Very high tremor:  >100 TNR™

___________ 999 ___________
