AbstractIntroduction/AimsThe hand‐held dynamometer (HHD) is a reliable and portable tool for quantitatively assessing muscle strength. However, a number of variables, including the strength of the tester, the adequacy of stabilization, and the selected testing position, can affect the reliability of the device. The objective of the present study was to

Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2013
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliabilities of hand-held dynamometer (HDD) for measuring lower-limb muscle strength in intellectual disabilities (ID). The other purposes were to: (1) compare the lower-limb muscle strength between children with and without ID; (2) probe the relationship between the muscle forces ...

The Relative and Absolute Reliability of Leg Muscle Strength Testing by a Handheld Dynamometer
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2011To examine the relative and absolute interrater reliability of handheld dynamometers (HHD) for assessing the lower extremity muscle strength, maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of 16 young adults for bilateral hip and knee muscles were tested using the break method.

P-54 Muscle strength evaluation with a digital manual dynamometer
Poster Presentations, 2016The muscle strength is one of the main physical components and is associated with the quality of movement execution in the everyday activities and sports performance. To quantify and classify the levels of strength is very important for decision making in the physical exercise prescription and therapy.

Although strength and conditioning exercises have been prescribed to enhance performance and prevent injury in sailors, little is known about these exercises in comparison to the demands placed on the sailor's musculature while hiking maximally. Because of the difficulty in collecting hiking-related data on water, a 3-minute maximal hiking test (HM180)

Single dynamometric measures are sometimes used to characterize overall muscle strength. This study examined the legitimacy of that practice by assessing how dynamometer measures of grip and knee extension strength related to manual muscle-test grades of each upper and lower limb and of the trunk. Based on correlations and principal component analysis,
