Assessment 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 کاملIsokinetic dynamometry of the knee extensors and flexors in
Background :This paper explores the gender-related bilateral differences of extensor and flexor torques of the knee joint at low and high angular velocities in Iranian healthy males and females. Methods : 70 healthy subjects (29 males (26.61±4.34 yrs and 41 females with average age of 23.07±3.70 yrs)) were participated in this study. Isokinetic peak torque values for knee extensors and flex...
متن کاملHand-held dynamometry in patients with haematological malignancies: Measurement error in the clinical assessment of knee extension strength
BACKGROUND Hand-held dynamometry is a portable and inexpensive method to quantify muscle strength. To determine if muscle strength has changed, an examiner must know what part of the difference between a patient's pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements is attributable to real change, and what part is due to measurement error. This study aimed to determine the relative and absolute reliab...
متن کاملReliability of maximal isometric knee strength testing with modified hand-held dynamometry in patients awaiting total knee arthroplasty: useful in research and individual patient settings? A reliability study
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often experience strength deficits both pre- and post-operatively. As these deficits may have a direct impact on functional recovery, strength assessment should be performed in this patient population. For these assessments, reliable measurements should be used. This study aimed to determine the inter- and intrarater reliability of ha...
