Abstract:The purpose of this study was to verify the magnitude of errors in muscle strength measurement using a handheld dynamometer (HHD). [Participants and Methods] The study participants were 16 healthy adults (32 limbs). A HHD was used to measure lower limb muscle strength, including hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and knee extension. Each measurement was performed two times by two experienced raters to verify the magnitude of errors in intra-and inter-rater measurements. The errors for each measuremen… Show more
