Muscle Strength and Poststroke Hemiplegia: A Systematic Review of Muscle Strength Assessment and Muscle Strength Impairment

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2017
To systematically review (1) psychometric properties of criterion isokinetic dynamometry testing of muscle strength in persons with poststroke hemiplegia (PPSH); and (2) literature that compares muscle strength in patients poststroke with that in healthy controls assessed by criterion isokinetic dynamometry.A systematic literature search of 7 databases

Measuring muscle strength

Journal of Neurology, 1984
A dynamometer that can be held in the hand and that was designed to measure muscle strength in a simple way in the range 2-5 of the MRC scale, was tested in order to establish to what extent differences in results can be attributed to the observer, the subject and replication.

Association between tongue muscle strength and masticatory muscle strength

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2018
SummaryBackgroundThe tongue is responsible for compressing food against the palate and squeezing it into the pharynx during the oral preparatory phase of swallowing. Tongue pressure (TP), an indicator of tongue muscle strength, has been observed to decline with age; maximum occlusal force (MOF), an indicator of chewing ability, is correlated with TP ...

Calf Muscle Strength in Humans

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1995
In an effort to measure strength characteristics of the calf muscles, 18 subjects (14 male, 4 female, age =34.3+/-2.4yrs) were tested using a specially designed torque velocity device (TVD). This TVD is a hardware interface with the subject's lower leg which stabilizes the leg for calf muscle strength measurements.

Muscle strength

2008
Abstract Despite a relatively limited understanding of the factors associated with strength development, advances in equipment, and increased understanding of growth and maturation issues, have provided new insights into paediatric muscle strength development.
