Comparative study on the assessment of the strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles by hand-held dynamometer and isokinetic dynamometer

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2015
IntroductionThe strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles is a relevant clinical indicator of the health status and functional capacities of an individual. For its evaluation, the practitioner must have simple and reliable measuring tools. Currently, the use of hand-held dynamometers is widespread both in the clinical practice and in research ...

Repeatability and accuracy of a foot muscle strength dynamometer

Medical Engineering & Physics, 2019
© 2019 IPEM Toe flexor strength is a pivotal biomechanical contributor for effecting balance and gait. However, there are limited reports that evaluate measurement accuracy and repeatability of this important attribute. Dynamometers are designed to measure force which can be used to derive joint torque if the perpendicular distance to the joint axis is
