“…Measurements were made with Lafayette (Model-01165, USA) brand manual hand dynamometer. Measurements were evaluated by asking the weightlifter to apply force against the device at different angles and push the device, as reported in the literature (18)(19)(20).…”

Abstract Aim; In this study, it was majorly aimed to investigate trapezius muscle strength, and also to determine the relationship between trapezius muscle strength and weightlifting performance, and anthropometric characters in female weightlifters. Materials and Methods: In the study conducted on 42 Elite and Sub-Elite female weightlifters, trapezius muscle strengths were measured with a manual hand dynamometer. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS program. p < 0.05 was accepted significantly. Results: It was found that the right upper, middle, lower and left upper and lower trapezius muscle strength and weightlifting performance values were higher in the elite group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01, respectively). Moreover, a high level of correlation was found between left middle trapezius muscle strength and body mass index (BMI) and weightlifting performance in both groups (r=0.57, p < 0.01; r=0.59, p < 0.01; r=0.56, p < 0.01, r=0.70, p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: It can be said that there is a close relationship between trapezius muscle strength, which is higher in elite female weightlifters than in sub-elite weightlifters, and BMI and weightlifting performance.

“… 7 On the other hand, HHD can be used as an alternative tool to isokinetic machine as they are time sufficient, portable and relatively low-cost method of measuring strength. 8 Another advantages of HHD include a quick tool of providing objective values in clinic and experimental settings. 9 The HHD can be used to quantify hip strength; however, reliability of the device to gain the accurate results particularly with the Gluteus Medius muscle remains unclear.…”

Objectives: To determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the hand-held dynamometer in measuring isometric gluteus medius muscle strength in asymptomatic healthy population. Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at the department of physiotherapy, Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation from March 2021 to April 2021. Thirty healthy subjects aged 18 to 25 years of both sexes and no previous or current complaints of hip or knee pain were included through non-probability purposive sampling technique. The strength of the unilateral isometric gluteus medius muscle was measured using a hand-held dynamometer by two raters at the same day and a week later. Pearson Correlation coefficient was calculated to see the relationship of muscle strength measured by each rater within and between day’s sessions. Intra–class correlation was calculated with 95% confidence interval and Standard error of measurements using reliability analysis. Results: In the present study there were thirty participants studied by two raters, the mean age of participants was 21.53 (SD=±1.40) years, the mean BMI was 24.05 (SD=±1.12) kg/m2 and 70% participants were female and 30% were males. This study showed the mean muscle measurement of participants within days was 12.92 (SD=±0.94), with intra-class correlation ICC (2,2) 0.94 and SEM 0.12 and mean muscle measurement of patients between days was 12.99 (SD=±0.91), with intra-class correlation ICC (2,2) 0.90 and SEM 0.12. Conclusion: Hand-held dynamometer has shown excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability in measuring isometric strength of Gluteus Medius muscle among healthy population. It is convenient to be used in clinical settings and can be a useful outcome tool to assess strength in interventional studies. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.5.5207 How to cite this:Soomro RR, Karimi H, Gillani SA.
