Neuromuscular efficiency of knee stability after anterior cruciate ligament injury in indian endurance athletes

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2020
Background and Aim: Knee muscle strength deficit occurs after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. For testing, isokinetic dynamometer was used to evaluate agonist and antagonist muscles strength, and it provides a certain magnitude of torque ...

Muscle fatigue in patients with severe long COVID: A 2‐year follow‐up study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fatigue is recognized as one of the most persistent and debilitating symptoms of long COVID, affecting both functionality and quality of life. However, its long‐term effects, especially beyond the first year after infection, remain poorly understood.

Measuring shoulder abduction strength using 2 different dynamometers: comprehensive intrarater and interrater reliability and validity

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the intrarater and interrater reliability of handheld dynamometer (HHD) measurements in assessing isometric muscle strength of the shoulder abductors and to compare these results with those obtained

Reliability of a Barre-Mounted Dynamometer-Stabilizing Device in Measuring Dance-Specific Muscle Performance

, 2021
BACKGROUND: Hand-held dynamometry is considered an efficient, effective, and portable means of objectively measuring lower extremity strength; however, it has yet to be studied specific to dance-relevant muscle performance.

Skeletal muscle status and malnutrition as predictors of short‐term radiotherapy response and oral mucositis in head and neck cancer

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Baseline muscle mass and malnutrition were not decisive for short‐term radiotherapy outcomes in advanced head‐and‐neck cancer, yet diminished hand‐grip strength signaled poorer tumor response. This suggests that functional muscle metrics may serve as an accessible, actionable biomarker warranting validation in larger longitudinal cohorts.

Comparing the Predictive Power of Subjective and Objective Health Indicators: Changes in Hand Grip Strength and Overall Satisfaction with Life as Predictors of Mortality [PDF]

Self-reported measures of health are generally treated as weak measures of respondents' objective health status. On the other hand, most surveys use self-reported health to measure health status and to determine the effects of a range of other socio ...

Circulating Musclin is associated with skeletal muscle function and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

Validity and reliability of a hand-held dynamometer for dynamic muscle strength assessment

, 2012
To overcome the limitations of the MMT, isometric hand-held dynamometers (HHD) have been developed to aid therapists in clinics (Andrews (1991)). HHDs are generally small and portable, and measure strength objectively in kilograms, pounds or newtons. The clinician holds the HHD between his or her force-applying hand and the patient’s limb segment.

Risk Factors for Falls in Patients on Hemodialysis: A 12‐Month Prospective Study

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients on hemodialysis have comorbidities and malnutrition and are subject to polypharmacy, which contributes to disability and sarcopenia. These conditions increase the risk of falls and are associated with fractures, morbidities, substantial costs, nursing home admissions, hospitalization, and mortality.
