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 seated hip extensor strength using a handheld dynamometer: an examination of the reliability and validity of the protocol
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of measurements of hip extensor muscle strength using a handheld dynamometer (HHD) with subjects in a sitting position. In doing so, we also aimed to establish a modified method of measurement for patients with flexion contractures in the trunk and lower extremities. [Subjects and Methods] In 20 healthy males, hip e...
متن کاملEffects of examiner strength on reliability of hip-strength testing using a handheld dynamometer.
CONTEXT Hip-muscle impairments are associated with a variety of lower-extremity dysfunctions. Accurate assessment in the clinical setting can be challenging due to the strength of hip muscles relative to examiner strength. OBJECTIVE To examine the influence of examiner strength and technique on manual hip-strength testing using a handheld dynamometer. DESIGN Repeated measures. SETTING Res...

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...
