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.

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, 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.

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 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)).

Inspiratory Muscle Strength in Asthma
Chest, 1988Augmentation of inspiratory muscle strength (Pimax) represents an adaptive response to airway obstruction. We explore the possibility that respiratory muscle weakness may herald hospital admission during acute bronchospasm. The Pimax measured 81 +/- 25 percent of a predicted value in 20 patients with acute bronchospasm (forced expiratory volume in one ...

As an Australian, growing up listening to colonial history and popular lore, we were taught that Australia was built through the efforts of male muscle. Folklore depicts Australia’s formative years to be a period where rugged outback settlers battled nature and the odds, in a struggle for survival.

Muscle training for bone strength
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2006The main function of bone is to provide the mechanical integrity for locomotion and protection; accordingly, bone mass and architecture are adjusted to control the strains produced by mechanical load and muscular activity. Age-related patterns involve peak bone mass during growth, a plateau in adulthood, and bone loss during aging.
