Comparative assessment of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength measured using a hand-held vs. isokinetic dynamometer
[Purpose] To compare measurements of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength performed using a hand-held dynamometer and an isokinetic dynamometer in apparently healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty adult volunteers underwent knee muscle strength evaluation using an isokinetic or a hand-held dynamometer. [Results] Strong positive correlations were found between the 2 methods, with co...
متن کاملReliability of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-examiner and inter-examiner reliabilities of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer (HHD). [Subjects] Fifty-four healthy adults (35 males; average age, 23 years) participated in this study. [Methods] Knee extensor muscle strength of each leg was measured three times using the HHD. To exam...
متن کاملIsokinetic assessment of knee flexor/extensor muscular strength in elderly women.
OBJECTIVE To assess knee flexor-extensor muscular strength in elderly women with no previous history of musculoskeletal disorders on the lower limbs using an isokinetic dynamometer, in order to obtain data that could be used as a comparative parameter in the evaluation of elderly women with knee disorders, thus facilitating a better rehabilitation of these patients. METHODS Twenty-six volunte...
متن کاملValidity and Reliability of a Hand-Held Dynamometer for Dynamic Muscle Strength Assessment
To overcome the limitations of the MMT, isometric hand-held dynamometers (HHD) have been developed to aid therapists in clinics (Andrews (1991)). HHDs are generally small and portable, and measure strength objectively in kilograms, pounds or newtons. The clinician holds the HHD between his or her force-applying hand and the patient’s limb segment. The clinician stabilises the limb segment while...
متن کاملReliability and Validity of Isometric Knee Extensor Strength Test With Hand-Held Dynamometer Depending on Its Fixation: A Pilot Study
OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability and validity of hand-held dynamometer (HHD) depending on its fixation in measuring isometric knee extensor strength by comparing the results with an isokinetic dynamometer. METHODS Twenty-seven healthy female volunteers participated in this study. The subjects were tested in seated and supine position using three measurement methods: isometric knee exten...
