Muscle strength: clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Grip strength measured by dynamometry is well established as an indicator of muscle status, particularly among older adults. This review was undertaken to provide a synopsis of recent literature addressing the clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry. RECENT FINDINGS Numerous large-scale normative grip strength projects have been published lately. Other recent ...
متن کاملReliability of lower extremity muscle strength measurements with handheld dynamometry in stroke patients during the acute phase: a pilot reliability study
[Purpose] No literature has described a suitable method for measuring muscle strength in a supine position during acute phase after stroke. This study investigated the feasibility and reliability of using a commercial handheld dynamometer to measure the muscle strengths of the hip flexor, knee extensor, and dorsiflexor in the supine position with a modified method for patients at a stroke inten...
متن کاملReliability of measurement of maximal isometric lateral trunk-flexion strength in athletes using handheld dynamometry.
CONTEXT Lateral trunk-flexion strength is an important determinant of overall trunk stability and function, but the reliability in measuring this outcome clinically in athletic individuals is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine the interrater and intrarater reliability of lateral trunk-flexion strength measurement in athletic individuals using handheld dynamometry. DESIGN Reliability study. ...
متن کاملExcellent reliability for MRI grading and prognostic parameters in acute hamstring injuries
BACKGROUND Categorical grading and other measurable MRI parameters are frequently utilised for predicting the outcome of hamstring injuries. However, the reliability and smallest detectable difference (SDD) have not been previously evaluated. It therefore remains unclear if the variability in previously reported results reflects reporting variation or actual injury status. METHODS 25 hamstrin...
متن کاملReliability of Ultrasound Imaging of the Trunk Musculature in Athletes with and without Hamstring Injuries
Background: Trunk muscles play an important role in providing both mobility and stability during dynamic tasks in athletes.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the within-day and between-day reliability of ultrasound (US) in measuringabdominal and lumbar multifidus muscle (MF) thickness in athletes with and without hamstring strain injury (HSI).Methods: Fifteen male socce...
