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.

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

Association between tongue muscle strength and masticatory muscle strength
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2018SummaryBackgroundThe 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, 1995In 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.

Human jaw muscle strength and size in relation to limb muscle strength and size
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2004The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent general factors (e.g. genotype, hormones) and factors at the craniofacial level (e.g. craniofacial size, jaw muscle architecture) contribute to the size and strength of the jaw muscles. A strong relationship of jaw muscle size and strength with that of other muscles would argue for general ...

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.
