Validity of the Handheld Dynamometer Compared with an Isokinetic Dynamometer in Measuring Peak Hip Extension Strength
PURPOSE To determine whether the handheld dynamometer (HHD) is an appropriate tool to assess and quantify peak hip extension strength in prone standing position by (1) evaluating the concurrent validity of the HHD versus an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD), (2) establishing the minimal detectable change (MDC), and (3) determining the validity of single-trial versus multi-trial measures. METHOD A ...
متن کاملMeasuring Muscle Fatigue and Gender Differences with Isokinetic Contractions
Muscle fatigue has been defined as “any reduction in the force generating capacity of the total neuromuscular system regardless of the force required in any given situation” (Bigland-Ritchie and Woods, 1984). A reliable muscle fatigue measure has subtly emerged during maximal effort isokinetic contractions that has been able to highlight gender differences in quadriceps and hamstring torque gen...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of isokinetic muscle strength of the lower extremities in patients with stroke.
OBJECTIVE To i the test-retest reliability of isokinetic strength measurements of 3 muscle groups of the lower extremities in stroke patients. DESIGN Isokineth tests of bilateral hip flexors, knee extensors, and ankle plantarflexors at 2 angular velocities, performed during 2 sessions scheduled 1 week apart for each subject. SETTING Outpatilitation clinic of a local hospital in Taiwan. PA...

متن کاملTwo methods of measuring muscle tone applied in patients with decerebrate rigidity.
Two methods were used to measure muscle tone in patients with decerebrate rigidity. In the first method forces of square waveform were applied and the calculated compliance of the joint was used as an index of rigidity. Oscillatory transients were seen at the same frequency as the physiological tremor. The range of normal variation in compliance was large and the values measured in the patients...
