Effects of examiner strength on reliability of hip-strength testing using a handheld dynamometer.
CONTEXT Hip-muscle impairments are associated with a variety of lower-extremity dysfunctions. Accurate assessment in the clinical setting can be challenging due to the strength of hip muscles relative to examiner strength. OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of examiner strength and technique on manual hip-strength testing using a handheld dynamometer. DESIGN Repeated measures. SETTING Res...
متن کاملAbsolute reliability of shoulder joint horizontal adductor muscle strength measurements using a handheld dynamometer
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to verify the absolute reliability of shoulder joint horizontal adductor muscle strength measurements using a handheld dynamometer (HHD). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 33 healthy college students. The measurements were made three times with the HHD fixed using a belt (BFHHD) or with the examiner's hand (conventional method; HFHHD). The absolute rel...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of isometric shoulder muscle strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer and belt
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to develop a method of measuring isometric shoulder joint muscle strength using a handheld dynamometer with a belt and investigate its test-retest reliability. [Subjects] The subjects comprised 40 healthy adults. [Methods] Six types of isometric shoulder muscle strength were measured twice, and reliability was assessed. [Results] The intraclass correlation co...
متن کاملMeasurement of muscle strength with a handheld dynamometer in patients with chronic spinal muscular atrophy.
OBJECTIVE To measure muscle strength in patients with spinal muscular atrophy using a handheld dynamometer as an objective tool to evaluate the progression of disease and the outcome of therapeutic trials. DESIGN Maximum voluntary isometric contraction was measured in a group of 24 patients aged 5-38 years with types II and III spinal muscular atrophy. Four muscle groups were examined. Data w...
متن کاملThe Reliability of Strength Tests Performed In Elevated Shoulder Positions Using a Handheld Dynamometer.
CONTEXT The reliable measurement of shoulder strength is important when assessing athletes involved in overhead activities. Swimmers' shoulders are subject to repetitive humeral elevation and consequently have a high risk of developing movement-control issues and pain. Shoulder-strength tests performed in positions of elevation assist with the detection of strength deficits that may affect inju...
