Comparative 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 کاملValidity and Reliability of a Hand-Held Dynamometer for Dynamic Muscle Strength Assessment
To overcome the limitations of the MMT, isometric hand-held dynamometers (HHD) have been developed to aid therapists in clinics (Andrews (1991)). HHDs are generally small and portable, and measure strength objectively in kilograms, pounds or newtons. The clinician holds the HHD between his or her force-applying hand and the patient’s limb segment. The clinician stabilises the limb segment while...
متن کاملAssessment of quadriceps muscle performance by hand-held, isometric, and isokinetic dynamometry in patients with knee dysfunction.
One component of patient evaluation is muscle performance assessment. The purpose of this study was: 1) to determine the difference and correlation between hand-held, isometric, and isokinetic dynamometry test results in patients with knee dysfunction and 2) to determine the effect of pain during such testing. Bilateral quadriceps strength in 23 subjects with unilateral knee dysfunction was tes...
متن کاملUse of a hand-held dynamometer and a Kin-Com dynamometer for evaluating spastic hypertonia in children: a reliability study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Studies in subjects with spastic hypertonia indicate that the higher resistance to stretch in the spastic muscles is not only due to hyperactive stretch reflexes but also to changes in the muscle-tendon unit (nonreflex components). The aim of this study was to compare the test-retest reliability of two methods: hand-held dynamometry and isokinetic dynamometry for the eval...
متن کاملReliability of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-examiner and inter-examiner reliabilities of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer (HHD). [Subjects] Fifty-four healthy adults (35 males; average age, 23 years) participated in this study. [Methods] Knee extensor muscle strength of each leg was measured three times using the HHD. To exam...
