Use of a Cybex NORM dynamometer to assess muscle function in patients with thoracic cancer
BACKGROUND The cachexia-anorexia syndrome impacts on patients' physical independence and quality of life. New treatments are required and need to be evaluated using acceptable and reliable outcome measures, e.g. the assessment of muscle function. The aims of this study were to: (i) examine the acceptability and reliability of the Cybex NORM dynamometer to assess muscle function in people with n...
متن کاملThe relationship of knee and ankle weakness to falls in nursing home residents: an isokinetic study.
The strength of the knees and ankles of a group of nursing home residents with a history of falls was compared to age-matched controls. Peak torque (PT) and power (POW) were recorded at two limb velocities (60 degrees/s and 120 degrees/s) on a Cybex II Isokinetic dynamometer for four muscle groups: knee extensors, knee flexors, ankle plantar flexors and ankle dorsiflexors. The PT and POW of fal...
متن کاملIsokinetic assessment of knee flexor/extensor muscular strength in elderly women.
OBJECTIVE To assess knee flexor-extensor muscular strength in elderly women with no previous history of musculoskeletal disorders on the lower limbs using an isokinetic dynamometer, in order to obtain data that could be used as a comparative parameter in the evaluation of elderly women with knee disorders, thus facilitating a better rehabilitation of these patients. METHODS Twenty-six volunte...
متن کاملComparative assessment of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength measured using a hand-held vs. isokinetic dynamometer
[Purpose] To compare measurements of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength performed using a hand-held dynamometer and an isokinetic dynamometer in apparently healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty adult volunteers underwent knee muscle strength evaluation using an isokinetic or a hand-held dynamometer. [Results] Strong positive correlations were found between the 2 methods, with co...
متن کاملMuscle performance in an urban population sample of 40- to 79-year-old men and women.
An urban population sample of 40 to 79-year-old men and women was investigated to evaluate the influence of age and activity level on muscle strength and endurance and to establish a reference material. During the investigation 144 persons were tested bilaterally, except for ankle strength, when only the right side was examined. Isometric muscle strength was determined in the knee extensors and...
