Stretch‐shortening cycle force–time and power–time waveform analysis indicates limitations of the contralateral limb benchmark in athletes with ACL injury

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Unilateral countermovement jump (CMJsingle) testing is commonly used after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to assess stretch‐shortening cycle (SSC) function and return‐to‐sport readiness. However, the impact of ACLR on contralateral limb SSC function is poorly understood, which may impact the utility of the ...

New Device for Intrinsic Hand Muscle Strength Measurement: An Alternative to Strain Gauge Handheld Dynamometer [PDF]

Evaluation & the Health Professions, 2017
An accurate measurement of intrinsic hand muscle strength (IHMS) is required by clinicians for effective clinical decision-making, diagnosis of certain diseases, and evaluation of the outcome of treatment. In practice, the clinicians use Intrins-o-meter and Rotterdam Intrinsic Hand Myometer for IHMS measurement.

Earlier strength recovery with partial‐thickness versus full‐thickness quadriceps tendon graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in competitive soccer players

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to compare strength recovery, functional and clinical outcomes between full‐ and partial‐thickness quadriceps tendon autografts for 12 months post‐operatively and to examine the clinical implications of graft thickness in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction among non‐professional competitive soccer players ...

Reference Values of Handgrip and Lower Extremity Strength for Vietnamese Men and Women: The Vietnam Osteoporosis Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Falls and sarcopenia are significant public health issues in Vietnam. Despite muscle strength being a critical predictor for these conditions, reference data on muscle strength within the Vietnamese population are lacking. Purpose To establish

Validity and reliability of a hand-held dynamometer for dynamic muscle strength assessment

, 2012
To overcome the limitations of the MMT, isometric hand-held dynamometers (HHD) have been developed to aid therapists in clinics (Andrews (1991)). HHDs are generally small and portable, and measure strength objectively in kilograms, pounds or newtons. The clinician holds the HHD between his or her force-applying hand and the patient’s limb segment.

Venous Oxygenation Measurements in the Upper Arm: Reproducibility and Sensitivity to a Physical Challenge

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The feasibility and reproducibility of adapting the T2‐Relaxation‐Under‐Spin‐Tagging (TRUST) MRI sequence for noninvasive measurement of venous oxygenation in the upper arm were investigated, aiming to enable future in vivo validation of T2b‐oxygenation calibration curves in sickle cell disease (SCD).

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.
