Muscle strength is essential to perform daily activities, and it is an important predictor of the length of a hospital stay, hospital readmission, and mortality, as well as being related to mobility and unfavorable outcomes.The muscle strength test is used to identify weakness and detect change ...
This article provides an overview of muscle strength assessment, including manual muscle testing, isokinetic fixed and hand-held dynamometry, functional scales, and functional tests. There are drawbacks to all current methods of assessing weakness. Accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity remain the '...
OBJECTIVES To determine the reliability of volitional and nonvolitional limb muscle strength assessment in critically ill patients and to provide guidelines for the implementation of limb muscle strength assessment this population. DATA SOURCES The following computerized bibliographic databases were searched wit...

Muscle strength assessment from EMG analysis. Med. Sci. Sports Exercise. Vol. 12, No. 3, pp. 205-211, 1980. Isometric strength is a useful indicator of a person's capacity to safely perform tasks requiring high physical effort. This paper develops and evaluates a method for the improved ...
6.3 Strength assessment The actual assessment of strength can be accomplished in several ways, each measuring different aspects of muscle strength capability. Isometric (i.e., constant length, static) assessments are performed at specific joint angles and typically used to evaluate torque-angle relation...

摘要: The paper describes a study aimed at designing and building a torque measuring device, capable of measuring the torque output of a given muscle. The test apparatus and procedure are validated and the clinical application and feasibility of the testing method demonstrated....
Muscle Mass, Muscle Strength, and Muscle Fat Infiltration as Predictors of Incident Mobility Limitations in Well-Functioning Older Persons BACKGROUND: Lower muscle mass has been correlated with poor physical function; however, no studies have examined this relationship prospectively. This stud... V ...
