The final thesis presents the complete modification process of the trunk dynamometer. The dynamometer was modified to retain all existing functions while allowing us to measure the properties of the shoulder girdle additionally. We started this modification mainly because currently, there are no such dynamometers on the market and because the properties of the shoulder girdle are an extremely important part of the body, especially for athletes with the active upper body, e.g. tennis players, handball players, volleyball players, etc. In addition to the mentioned requirements, one of the most important demands was to modify the base of the dynamometer in a way that allows us to fold it for easier transportation and modification of the mechanism for adjusting the heights of the modules.
The course includes the complete modification process from generating ideas for the mentioned problems, their evaluation, and, finally, choosing the best concept for the final product.
