Reference Values of Handgrip and Lower Extremity Strength for Vietnamese Men and Women: The Vietnam Osteoporosis Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Falls and sarcopenia are significant public health issues in Vietnam. Despite muscle strength being a critical predictor for these conditions, reference data on muscle strength within the Vietnamese population are lacking. Purpose To establish

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.

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Quantitative Ultrasound Analysis of Muscle Reinnervation Following Anterior Interosseous Nerve‐To‐Ulnar Motor Branch Supercharged End‐To‐Side Transfer Surgery: A Preliminary Study

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Routine assessment of muscle reinnervation primarily relies on clinical and electromyographic evaluation. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate sensitivity of quantitative ultrasound analysis for monitoring intrinsic hand muscle recovery following anterior interosseous nerve (AIN)‐to‐ulnar motor branch ...

Outpatient preoperative parenteral nutrition in malnourished surgical patients: A feasibility study (the OPPORTUNITY study)

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) improves outcomes in malnourished surgical patients. Traditionally, this requires hospital admission, increasing length of stay and costs—challenges worsened by limited hospital bed availability. Outpatient PN may offer a feasible alternative.
