PFM strength was evaluated using transvaginal digital palpation in the anterior and posterior areas, by 3 different examiners, and graded using a 5-point Amaro's scale.#There was no statistical difference among the different age ranges, for each grade of PFM strength. There was good intra-rater...
muscle weaknessis related to disability. Therefore, muscle strength is an important outcome and of great interest for general health. According to the recommendations of the ATS/ERS[2], manual muscle testing (assessment of
The cachexia index is a useful predictor for cancer cachexia and prognostic assessment. However, its use is limited because of high testing costs and complicated testing procedures. Thus, in this study, we aimed to develop ...
Muscle strength assessment by grip strength and skeletal muscle mass assessment by the BIA method have been adopted and are widely used as criteria for the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS)3. Furthermore, the BIA method is suitable for repeated evaluations because there is no radiation ...
Background: The measurement of strength through MRC Muscle Scale (MRC) is the most widely used method to follow the evolution of disabilities in people diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), since it is easy and fast to measure. However, it has been considered a subjective and eva...

Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, is an attractive target for muscle disease therapy because of its role as a negative regulator of muscle growth and strength. Here, we describe a novel antibody therapeutic approach that maximizes the potential of myostatin-targete...
This scale is not very valid in tract 4 (more strength than needed to overcome gravity, but still subnormal). Using a manual dynamometer or a fixed dynamometer it is possible to measure the strength of most clinically important muscle groups of the extremities and to compare them with values ...
