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 ...

Reliability of the handheld dynamometer in the evaluation of the muscle strength of trunk extensors in healthy adults

Motricidade, 2021
The muscular performance of the lumbar spine is frequently assessed in studies that compare populations with and without low back pain. However, the gold standard equipment used to evaluate the strength of these muscles has a high cost. Therefore, rarely used in the clinical practice of health professionals, being the handheld dynamometer is an ...

Perceived Time Shapes Physical Fatigue Accumulation and Its Neural Oscillatory Correlates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a clock change the course of physical fatigue? By covertly manipulating the clock calibration during repeated isometric contractions, we showed that perceived time shapes fatigue accumulation and frontal oscillatory dynamics. While fatigue accumulation was only reduced when the clock was slowed down, frontal oscillatory dynamics followed perceived ...
