Grip strength measured by high precision dynamometry in healthy subjects from 5 to 80 years
BACKGROUND Grip strength is a variable which may be important to measure and follow in various populations. A new dynamometer with high accuracy and sensitivity has recently been developed to assess grip strength. The objectives of this work were to provide norms of maximal isometric grip strength measured with this new dynamometer (the MyoGrip device), to assess the reliability of measurements...
متن کاملAnkle dorsi- and plantar-flexion torques measured by dynamometry in healthy subjects from 5 to 80 years
BACKGROUND Ankle strength is often impaired in some of the most common neuromuscular disorders. Consequently, strength generated around this joint is important to assess, because it has a great impact on balance and gait. The objectives of this study were to establish normative data and predictive equations for both ankle dorsi- and plantar-flexion strength from a population of healthy subjects...
متن کاملWrist flexion and extension torques measured by highly sensitive dynamometer in healthy subjects from 5 to 80 years
BACKGROUND Wrist movements become impaired with disease progression in various neuromuscular disorders. With the development of new therapies, thorough measurement of muscle strength is crucial to document natural disease progression and to assess treatment efficacy. We developed a new dynamometer enabling wrist flexion and extension torque measurement with high sensitivity. The aims of the pre...
متن کاملGrip strength after forearm cooling in healthy subjects
Introduction: Muscle strength has shown different responses to the cooling of neuromuscular tissue and its behavior is still unclear. Objective: To verify the behavior of maximum grip strength before and after forearm cooling. Methods: The cooling intervention consisted of immersing the forearm up to the elbow in water cooled to 10°C. Grip strength was assessed using a dynamometer prior to cool...
متن کاملMuscle strength: clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Grip strength measured by dynamometry is well established as an indicator of muscle status, particularly among older adults. This review was undertaken to provide a synopsis of recent literature addressing the clinical and prognostic value of hand-grip dynamometry. RECENT FINDINGS Numerous large-scale normative grip strength projects have been published lately. Other recent ...
