Reliability of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the intra-examiner and inter-examiner reliabilities of measurements of knee extensor muscle strength using a pull-type hand-held dynamometer (HHD). [Subjects] Fifty-four healthy adults (35 males; average age, 23 years) participated in this study. [Methods] Knee extensor muscle strength of each leg was measured three times using the HHD. To exam...
متن کاملComparative assessment of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength measured using a hand-held vs. isokinetic dynamometer
[Purpose] To compare measurements of knee extensor and flexor muscle strength performed using a hand-held dynamometer and an isokinetic dynamometer in apparently healthy subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty adult volunteers underwent knee muscle strength evaluation using an isokinetic or a hand-held dynamometer. [Results] Strong positive correlations were found between the 2 methods, with co...
متن کاملReliability and Validity of Isometric Knee Extensor Strength Test With Hand-Held Dynamometer Depending on Its Fixation: A Pilot Study
OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability and validity of hand-held dynamometer (HHD) depending on its fixation in measuring isometric knee extensor strength by comparing the results with an isokinetic dynamometer. METHODS Twenty-seven healthy female volunteers participated in this study. The subjects were tested in seated and supine position using three measurement methods: isometric knee exten...
متن کاملComparison of Rolyan and Jamar dynamometers for measuring grip strength.
This study compared the Jamar and Rolyan hydraulic dynamometers to determine their concurrent validity with known weights as well as their inter-instrument reliability and concurrent validity for measuring grip strength in a clinical setting. Thirty females and 30 males were tested on these two grip strength measurement devices using a repeated measure design. Results showed that the Jamar and ...
متن کاملStrength and Power of Knee Extensor Muscles
In the studies of human neuromuscular function, the function of leg muscles has been most often measured, particularly the function of the knee extensors. Therefore, this review will be focused on knee extensors, methods for assessment of its function, the interdependence of strength and power, relations that describe these two abilities and the infl uence of various factors on their production...
