متن کاملGrip strength predicts outcome.
Sir—I was pleased to read the Research Letter of Kerr et al. in the January issue of this journal [1]. In it, they report a relationship between the grip strength and discharge disposition of elders admitted to hospital. Their research, though informative, is not the first to investigate ‘the link between grip strength and outcome in non-surgical settings’. For a primarily aged cohort of patien...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of Motricity Index strength assessments for lower extremity in post stroke hemiparesis
Background: The Motricity Index was used to measure strength in upper and lower extremities after stroke. The weighted score based on the ordinal 6 point scale of Medical Research Council was used to measure maximal isometric muscle strength. There is dearth of articles dealing with the reliability of this method. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the test retest reliability o...
متن کاملNorms for hand grip strength.
Norms for hand grip strength of healthy children are presented. Sex and age specific centiles for age 5 to 18 years have been determined using a portable strain gauge dynamometer with an accuracy of 0.5 N. The test group comprised 1417 healthy, urban school children from a middle class suburb of Brisbane. Mean maximum grip strength (of four tests, two with each hand) and mean peak grip strength...
متن کاملAssessment of strength deficits in eight paretic upper extremity muscle groups of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
This retrospective investigation was undertaken to describe and compare the initial and discharge strength deficits of eight upper extremity muscle groups of 42 patients who were hemiparetic secondary to cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs). Static strengths of the eight muscle groups were measured using a hand-held dynamometer, and strength deficits were calculated against the side ipsilateral to ...
