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

Is it possible to establish reference values for ankle muscle strength? A meta-analytical study. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The importance of measuring ankle muscle strength (AMS) has been demonstrated in a variety of clinical areas. Much data has been accumulated using the Cybex Norm isokinetic dynamometer but a uniform framework does not exist.
