The Reliability of Strength Tests Performed In Elevated Shoulder Positions Using a Handheld Dynamometer.
CONTEXT The reliable measurement of shoulder strength is important when assessing athletes involved in overhead activities. Swimmers' shoulders are subject to repetitive humeral elevation and consequently have a high risk of developing movement-control issues and pain. Shoulder-strength tests performed in positions of elevation assist with the detection of strength deficits that may affect inju...
متن کاملValidity 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 کاملMeasurement of muscle strength with a handheld dynamometer in patients with chronic spinal muscular atrophy.
OBJECTIVE To measure muscle strength in patients with spinal muscular atrophy using a handheld dynamometer as an objective tool to evaluate the progression of disease and the outcome of therapeutic trials. DESIGN Maximum voluntary isometric contraction was measured in a group of 24 patients aged 5-38 years with types II and III spinal muscular atrophy. Four muscle groups were examined. Data w...
متن کاملTest-retest reliability of isometric shoulder muscle strength measurement with a handheld dynamometer and belt
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to develop a method of measuring isometric shoulder joint muscle strength using a handheld dynamometer with a belt and investigate its test-retest reliability. [Subjects] The subjects comprised 40 healthy adults. [Methods] Six types of isometric shoulder muscle strength were measured twice, and reliability was assessed. [Results] The intraclass correlation co...
متن کاملAutomotive Transmission Efficiency Measurement Using a Chassis Dynamometer
−Automotive transmission efficiency measurements are usually performed on purpose-built rigs. A simple model was developed for calculating the overall transmission efficiency of passenger cars by using a chassis dynamometer. Wheel power and engine output were measured, and these values were used for calculations. The proposed method can only be employed for vehicles with manual drive because it...
