Normative values for isometric muscle force measurements obtained with hand-held dynamometers.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The extent of a patient's impairment can be established by comparing measurements of that patient's performance with normative values obtained from apparently unimpaired individuals. Only a few studies have described normative values for muscle strength measured by hand-held dynamometry. The purpose of this study of older adults, therefore, was to obtain normative values ...
متن کاملHand-Held Force Magnifier for Surgical Instruments
We present a novel and relatively simple method for magnifying forces perceived by an operator using a tool. A sensor measures the force between the tip of a tool and its handle held by the operator’s fingers. These measurements are used to create a proportionally greater force between the handle and a brace attached to the operator’s hand, providing an enhanced perception of forces between the...
متن کاملSecond-Generation Hand-Held Force Magnifier for Surgical Instruments
We have developed a novel and relatively simple method for magnifying forces perceived by an operator using a surgical tool. A sensor measures force between the tip of a tool and its handle, and a proportionally greater force is created by an actuator between the handle and a brace attached to the operator’s hand, providing an enhanced perception of forces at the tip of the tool. Magnifying for...
متن کاملValidity of maximal isometric knee extension strength measurements obtained via belt-stabilized hand-held dynamometry in healthy adults
[Purpose] To determine the validity of knee extension muscle strength measurements using belt-stabilized hand-held dynamometry with and without body stabilization compared with the gold standard isokinetic dynamometry in healthy adults. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-nine healthy adults (mean age, 21.3 years) were included. Study parameters involved right side measurements of maximal isometric k...
متن کاملComparison between Measurements Obtained with three Different Perineometers
OBJECTIVE To analyze the results obtained in the evaluation of intra-vaginal pressure using three different brands of perineometers in nulliparous volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty nulliparous women with no anatomical alterations and/or dysfunction of the pelvic floor were enrolled in our study. All the women had the ability to voluntarily contract their PFM (Pelvic Floor Muscles), as ...
