DESTIN, Fla. — Handheld dynamometry, a new, inexpensive and quantitative compact device, proved reliable and effective in evaluating muscle strength in a large cohort of patients with idiopathic ...

Background Optimal strength plays a pivotal role in reducing the risk of sports-related injuries; nonetheless, the unique characteristics of strength warrant specific and focused assessment. Objective ...

Poster Presentations 266 Slow, unilateral elastic resistance training elicits a cross-education effects in the contralateral limb, measured by dynamometry and electromyography Free Stephen Loke 1, 2, ...

The change in handheld dynamometry megascore from the VALOR baseline was −0.17 for early-start participants and −0.45 for delayed-start participants (difference, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.52).

Generally speaking, MRC grading is most useful when muscles are weaker (Grades 0 to 3), while instrumented evaluations like dynamometry are most useful when muscles are stronger.

There was also a weak-to-moderate correlation with electromechanical dynamometry on the weaker limbs for both groups (r = 0.49-0.58; P = .001-.007).

AIM: This study examined the effect of sexual intercourse completed 12 hours before a bout of isokinetic dynamometry on muscle force production in strength-trained men. METHODS: 12 Healthy physically ...
