Interrater reliability of hand-held dynamometry.
Two raters performed hand-held dynamometer testing of six muscle groups of 30 patients to determine the interrater reliability of the procedure. The six muscle groups tested were the shoulder external rotators, elbow flexors, wrist extensors, hip flexors, knee extensors, and ankle dorsiflexors. The patients were of eight different diagnostic groups, with most having hemiparesis secondary to cer...
متن کاملAssessment of Lower Limb Muscle Strength and Power Using Hand-Held and Fixed Dynamometry: A Reliability and Validity Study
INTRODUCTION Hand-held dynamometry (HHD) has never previously been used to examine isometric muscle power. Rate of force development (RFD) is often used for muscle power assessment, however no consensus currently exists on the most appropriate method of calculation. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of different algorithms for RFD calculation and to examine the intra-rater, i...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of hand-held dynamometry during a single session of strength assessment.
This retrospective study was undertaken to determine the test-retest reliability of hand-held dynamometer strength testing for 18 extremity muscle groups. To assess reliability, I compared three dynamometer strength scores recorded for each muscle group on the strength score forms of 30 neurologically involved patients, using the Pearson product-moment correlation and a one-way analysis of vari...
متن کاملIs hand-held dynamometry useful for the measurement of quadriceps strength in older people? A comparison with the gold standard Bodex dynamometry.
BACKGROUND The lower limb muscle strength is an important determinant of physical function in older people. However, measurement in clinical and epidemiological settings has been limited because of the requirement for large-scale equipment. A protocol using a novel, versatile hand-held dynamometer (HHD) has been developed to measure the quadriceps strength in a supine position. OBJECTIVE The ...
متن کاملHand-held dynamometry: tester strength is paramount, even in frail populations.
OBJECTIVE To determine test-retest and inter-rater reliability of hand-held dynamometry when used to measure knee--extensor strength in patients with advanced cancer. SUBJECTS Adults with metastatic or locally advanced cancer recruited from palliative care services to a study of the risk factors for falls. METHODS Consecutive recruits (n = 30) underwent repeat testing after an interval of 1...
