“…ICC model was used because this investigation was an intraobserver design with a single person representing the only rater of interest [37,38]. Interpretation of ICC values was based on guidelines offered by Portney and Watkins [39].…”

“…Wilk et al [15] were the first to propose a reproducible and reliable concept and method to examine overhead athlete's shoulders with evaluation of a total arc of motion as the sum of the IR and ER in 90°arm abduction and 90°elbow flexion. Current papers described a high reliability and evidence for determination of ROM and isometric strength using a goniometer and hand-held dynamometer, even with a single-rater protocol [32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…Although manual muscle tests are used by physical therapists in clinical practice, they do not provide a precise measurement of muscle function 7,8 , in addition to failing when trying to differentiate patients with varying degrees of muscle weakness 6 . Isokinetic dynamometry on the other hand is considered the gold standard of shoulder strength tests 5 , however, the high cost limits its use in research laboratories in most cases 4 .…”

RESUMO O dinamômetro manual é um equipamento portátil e de fácil uso na prática clínica. Entretanto, sua utilização necessita de parâmetros de confiabilidade e reprodutibilidade em posições de ombro com e sem estabilização. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a confiabilidade inter e intraexaminador na medida de força dos músculos rotadores do ombro nas posições a 0° e 90° de abdução com avaliadores inexperientes. Vinte sujeitos (27,05±8,17 anos; 76,6±10,97kg; 1,74±0,07m) de ambos os sexos e sem queixas anteriores ou atuais de dor no ombro e cervical participaram do estudo. A avaliação dos rotadores mediais e laterais do ombro foi realizada por meio de um dinamômetro manual digital (MicroFET 2, Hoggan Health Industries, West Jordan, UT, USA) em duas posições: sentado, com 0° de abdução do ombro, e em supino, com 90° de abdução de ombro. A confiabilidade interexaminador e a reprodutibilidade intraexaminador foram avaliadas pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC) considerando o intervalo de confiança de 95% (p<0,05). Houve uma excelente reprodutibilidade na análise intra-avaliador e níveis de confiabilidade muito bons para as medidas interavaliador na maioria das variáveis analisadas. As posições de 0° e 90° de abdução do ombro demonstraram resultados confiáveis e reprodutíveis com a utilização do dinamômetro manual digital por avaliadores sem experiência clínica.

The aims of this study were to compare cut points for weakness proposed by Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project with cut points estimated with our own data; to assess the prevalence of clinically relevant handgrip strength (HGS) weakness according to published criteria across distinct populations of older adults; to estimate the ability of HGS weakness to identify slowness. This is a cross-sectional analysis of International Mobility in Aging Study (IMIAS) involving 1935 community-dwelling older adults, between 65 and 74 years, who completed HGS and gait speed assessment. We used baseline data from Tirana (Albania), Natal (Brazil), Manizales (Colombia), Kingston (Ontario, Canada), and Saint-Hyacinthe (Quebec, Canada). Weakness was defined according to sex-specific HGS cut points associated with slowness proposed by FNIH Sarcopenia Project. Slowness was defined as gait speed <0.8 m/s. IMIAS cut points for clinical weakness had good agreement with those proposed by FNIH. Weakness prevalence across the research sites ranged from 1.1 % (Saint-Hyacinthe) to 19.2 % (Manizales) among men. Women from Manizales (13.5 %) and Natal (19.3 %) had higher prevalence of weakness than their counterparts. FNIH cut points had a strong association with slowness, for both sexes. The IMIAS population generated cut points which were close to those proposed by FNIH. There was large variability in prevalence of weakness across our research sites. The HGS cut points for weakness proposed by FNIH performed well in IMIAS populations, providing a useful tool for screening older adults at risk for functional problems.
