Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...

Method and Reliability of Measuring Ankle Plantar Flexion Muscle Strength in Knee Extension Position Using a Hand-held Dynamometer

, 2023
A hand-held dynamometer (HHD) is less expensive than the isokinetic muscle strength measurement device, and research using HHD is gradually increasing. However, in any method, measurement is performed only at a low muscle strength level at which the heel

Variability between Different Hand-Held Dynamometers for Measuring Muscle Strength

Sensors
Muscle strength is routinely measured in patients with neuromuscular disorders by hand-held dynamometry incorporating a wireless load cell to evaluate disease severity and therapeutic efficacy, with magnitude of effect often based on normative reference values. While several hand-held dynamometers exist, their interchangeability is unknown which limits
