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 ...

Assessing the Validity and Reliability of A Low-Cost Microcontroller-Based Load Cell Amplifier for Measuring Lower Limb and Upper Limb Muscular Force

Sensors, 2020
Lower and upper limb maximum muscular force development is an important indicator of physical capacity. Manual muscle testing, load cell coupled with a signal conditioner, and handheld dynamometry are three widely used techniques for measuring isometric ...

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.

Limited predictive value of preseason isokinetic strength testing for noncontact lower extremity injuries in elite female football players: A 5‐year prospective cohort study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate associations between preseason isokinetic strength and subsequent noncontact lower extremity injuries in professional and elite youth female football players. Methods In this prospective study, 271 players (professional, under 20 [U20], under 17 [U17]) underwent preseason isokinetic testing over five seasons ...

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
