The handgrip strength (HS) test is a valid test of muscle strength and has been shown to have good test–retest reliabil- ity in community-dwelling elderly and in older persons with dementia (ICC=0.97).30,31 The HS test was performed using an hydraulic hand dynamometer (SAEHAN) with the...
Handgrip strength (HGS) measurement is a noninvasive, highly valid, and reliable assessment of health, mortality [1], and muscle strength in different age groups, including teenagers [2,3,4]. Age, gender, body measurements, laterality [5], physical activity [6], and food consumption [7,8...
Extremity grip strength test. A digital electronic push-pull dynamometer (Puyan DS2-50N, China) was used to determine the limb strength of the mice. Mice were gently pulled backwards by their tails in a horizontal direction parallel to the force-measuring instrument in a state of resistance. ...
We considered as valid measurements those of ≥5 days, including 1 weekend day. For this study, the mean total minutes/day of physical activity was estimated [27]. Muscle strength: Handgrip strength was evaluated using a dynamometer (TKK 5401 Grip-D; Takey, Tokyo, Japan) adjusted for hand...
Grip strength was assessed using a handgrip dynamometer following established procedures [20]. The better score from two trials from each of the left and right hands, measured to the nearest 0.5 kg, were combined. The prone plank test was used to assess torso muscular endurance [21]. Particip...

2.1.1. Hand Grip Strength Hand grip strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer (Takei TKK 5001, Takei Scientific Instruments Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The measurement was performed with two measurements per hand, with participants standing with their arms next to their body. The maximum ...
Prior to the test, the grip dynamometer was adapted to the size of the hand of each subject. Then, the handgrip strength was assessed for the dominant hand. The assessment was performed with the subject standing up with the arms in a neutral position (halfway between supine and pronation ...
hand grip strength and alexithymia. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Comalcalco, Tabasco, México. A total of 246 individuals were included. Hand grip strength was evaluated in the dominant hand using a Takei®portable digital dynamometer. Alexithymia was measured using the Toronto ...
