Hand-held dynamometry: reliability of lower extremity muscle testing in healthy, physically active,young adults.
CONTEXT Hand-held dynamometry (HHD) has been shown to be a reliable, objective way to obtain strength measurements in elderly and physically impaired subjects. OBJECTIVE To estimate the intratester, intertester, and intersession reliability of HHD testing of lower extremity movements in young, healthy subjects. DESIGN Repeated measures. SETTING Sports medicine laboratory. PARTICIPANTS N...
متن کاملInterrater 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 کاملValidity and reproducibility of hand-held dynamometry in children aged 4-11 years.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate validity and reproducibility of hand-held dynamometry in 11 different muscle groups in children. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Maximum isometric muscle strength was measured with a calibrated hand-held dynamometer in 61 patients aged 4-11 years who had been referred to our specialist centre in the past 3 years because of suspected myopathy. All the patients had had muscle biopsy. ...
متن کاملReliability of hand-held dynamometry in spinal muscular atrophy.
We have assessed the reliability of hand-held myometry in 33 patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), testing elbow flexion, handgrip, three-point pinch, knee flexion, knee extension, and foot dorsiflexion, and determining intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Interrater reliability was high for upper limbs, with an ICC of 0.92 for three-point pinch and 0.98 for elbow flexion and grip....
