Muscle strength in myasthenia gravis
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2013Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by fatigue and fluctuating muscle weakness as a result of impaired neuromuscular transmission (NMT). Although MG is a prototypic fatiguing disorder, little is known about how the condition affects fixed weakness, and if present, whether weakness is related to disease duration or gender.

Muscle Strength and Fiber Typing
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1984The authors discuss fiber typing and morphologic changes resulting from training and how these affect athletic performance. Also considered is the concept of strength, its measurement and development, and how strength affects athletic performance, activity, and injury.

Determinants of Muscle Strength
2004In order to understand how muscle force is affected by contractile conditions, I will first review some basic principles on muscle structure and innervation. Then I will focus on muscle force production as a function of muscle length, speed of shortening and stretch, and contractile history.

Strength Measurements of the Lumbrical Muscles
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1996This study was designed to measure the strength of the lumbrical muscles in the index and long fingers in patients with ulnar nerve paralysis. A hand-held dynamometer was used. The results show that in ulnar nerve damage the index and long fingers have a mean metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint flexion strength of 0.8 kg (range 0.3-1.5), compared with 6.4 ...

Respiratory Muscle Strength in Hypothyroidism
Chest, 1992To investigate respiratory muscle strength in patients with hypothyroidism, global respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring mouth pressure during PImax and PEmax efforts. Maximum pressures, VC, FEV1, FVC, T3, T4, and TSH were measured in 43 hypothyroid patients.

Ergonomics, 1959
The strength of muscles is adapted to needs by muscular growth. The stimulus for increase in muscle strength is not fatigue but the force exerted during the job. When this force exceeds one-third of maximum strength, the maximum speed of increase in strength is reached with one single, short duration static contraction per day.

Muscle Strength and Pressor Response
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009The purpose of this study was to determine if muscle strength influences the hyperemic response to dynamic exercise. Men with low (n=8) and high (n=9) maximal forearm strength performed dynamic handgrip exercise as the same absolute workload increased in a ramp function (0.5 kg x min (-1)).

Measuring Wrist Muscle Strength [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1983 The purpose of the study was to design and evaluate a clinically acceptable method of objectively measuring wrist muscle strength. Static and dynamic wrist muscle strength measures for the wrist flexors, extensors, radial deviators, and ulnar deviators of 30 college-age students were recorded on the Cybex II(R). The Cybex II and testing methods devised

Muscle strength, disability and mortality
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2003The aims of this review are to address (1) the role of muscle strength in the disablement process and (2) muscle strength as a predictor of length of life using data from prospective studies. Functional limitations, such as slow walking speed, predispose older people to disabilities.
