[Relaxometry with the Accelograph. Description of the instrument and initial clinical experiences].
The accelograph, made by Biometer/Danmark is a new myomechanograph. Registration of electromechanical effects is performed by measuring the acceleration of the thumb during N. ulnaris stimulation using an piezoelectric transducer. In addition to train-of-four parameters an intensive neuromuscular blockade can be quantified by posttetanic potentiation. The microprocessor controlled apparatus is easy to use. Using an external printer a complete documentation of relaxometric parameters is provided.
