(BMI) and waist to hip circumference ratio in determining body composition, hand grip dynamometer in determining muscular strength, heart rate as well as blood pressure before and after performing a YMCA step test in determining cardiovascular strength and a questionnaire in determining the lifestyle ...
The hand function was assessed using Perdue pegboard test. The handgrip strength was measured using a handgrip dynamometer. Tactile-pressure threshold was evaluated using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. These tests were performed on the dominant hand. All data items were compared among the four age ...
After adjusting for the 5-year weight percentile, the hand-grip strength of VLBW children was still significantly lower than that for NBW children. This is another aspect of development in which VLBW children are disadvantaged. 展开 关键词: dynamometer hand-grip strength muscle strength ...
Muscle strength as measured by manual muscle testing can illustrate patterns of weakness but has been found less sensitive to change over time when compared to quantitative muscle testing using handheld dynamometers or fixed frame systems in a large multisite cohort of patients with LGMDR2 [29]....
Hand grip strength is a simple and non-invasive measurement of general muscular strength and it has been shown to predict disability in older adults, fracture risk, nutritional status, cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality1,2,3. Several behavioral and environmental factors, such as ...
Static Strength Tests Hand grip dynamometers Leg and back strength dynamometers Cable tensiometers Advantages -- good reliability, good objectivity, norms available. Disadvantages - angle specific, boring, increase SBP, validity ?Force-Length Curve of Muscle ...
Handgrip strength Isometric HGS is a simple, non-invasive, inexpensive test used as a predictor of adverse health outcomes. HSG can be measured using a variety of instruments, such as digital, analog, hydraulic, and Smedley-type dynamometers. Amongst the available options, the JAMAR dynamometer ...
Hand grip strength is a widely used proxy of muscular fitness, a marker of frailty, and predictor of a range of morbidities and all-cause mortality. To investigate the genetic determinants of variation in grip strength, we perform a large-scale genetic discovery analysis in a combined sample of...
The authors concluded that grip strength as measured by JAMAR dynamometer does not seem to be an appropriate surrogate parameter of overall muscle strength and should be combined with isokinetic measurements of the lower limbs [27]. In the present study, we did not search for treatment efficacy ...
[160–162]. Merlini et al. showed reliable measurements of muscle strength in SMA with a hand-held dynamometer [163] and linked muscle strength to motor function [164]. Under nusinersen, handgrip strength significantly improved in patients with SMA type 3 and 4 and correlated with motor ...
