Reliability of stabilised commercial dynamometers for measuring hip abduction strength: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Reliable quantification of hip abductor strength in a clinical setting is challenging. OBJECTIVES To examine the intrarater and interrater reliability of three commonly used commercial dynamometers in the measurement of hip abduction. METHODS Supine gravity minimised measures of unilateral hip abduction strength were recorded in 10 women (mean (SD) age 23.5 (1.9) years) using thr...
متن کاملComparison of Rolyan and Jamar dynamometers for measuring grip strength.
This study compared the Jamar and Rolyan hydraulic dynamometers to determine their concurrent validity with known weights as well as their inter-instrument reliability and concurrent validity for measuring grip strength in a clinical setting. Thirty females and 30 males were tested on these two grip strength measurement devices using a repeated measure design. Results showed that the Jamar and ...
متن کاملIntra-articular injection of non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid (NASHA) for osteoarthritis of the hip: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to assess the safety and potential efficacy of intra-articular non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid (NASHA) in patients with hip OA. METHODS This was a prospective, open-label, 3-month pilot study of a single intra-articular injection of NASHA in 31 patients. Safety outcomes were measured at 2 weeks and 3 months after treatment, as were efficacy measureme...
متن کاملValidity and reliability of isometric muscle strength measurements of hip abduction and abduction with external hip rotation in a bent-hip position using a handheld dynamometer with a belt
[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the relatedness, reliability, and validity of isometric muscle strength measurements of hip abduction and abduction with an external hip rotation in a bent-hip position using a handheld dynamometer with a belt. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty healthy young adults, with a mean age of 21.5 ± 0.6 years were included. Isometric hip muscle strength in the subj...
متن کاملTest-Retest Reliability of Innovated Strength Tests for Hip Muscles
The burden of hip muscles weakness and its relation to other impairments has been well documented. It is therefore a pre-requisite to have a reliable method for clinical assessment of hip muscles function allowing the design and implementation of a proper strengthening program. Motor-driven dynamometry has been widely accepted as the gold-standard for lower limb muscle strength assessment but i...
