Measurement 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 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 کاملAssessment of respiratory muscle strength in the intensive care unit.
The measurement of respiratory muscle strength in the intensive care unit (ICU) is potentially useful for the prediction of weaning outcome. An easy and accurate measure would also allow investigation of respiratory muscle weakness in critically ill patients. At present, there is no satisfactory method of strength measurement in the intensive care unit. Vital capacity is a nonspecific, volition...
متن کاملValidity of the Handheld Dynamometer Compared with an Isokinetic Dynamometer in Measuring Peak Hip Extension Strength
PURPOSE To determine whether the handheld dynamometer (HHD) is an appropriate tool to assess and quantify peak hip extension strength in prone standing position by (1) evaluating the concurrent validity of the HHD versus an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD), (2) establishing the minimal detectable change (MDC), and (3) determining the validity of single-trial versus multi-trial measures. METHOD A ...
متن کاملLimits of the manipulative-fixed method for measurement of shoulder joint horizontal adduction muscle strength using a handheld dynamometer
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to verify the limit of isometric muscle strength of shoulder joint horizontal adduction using handheld dynamometer (HHD) manipulated by hand (referred to as the manipulative-fixed method). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 33 healthy college students. The examiner was a healthy college student. Shoulder joint horizontal adductor muscle strength was mea...
