Background Muscle strength is usually measured in individuals with stroke with Portable
dynamometers (gold standard). However, no studies have investigated the reliability, the …

Introduction Clinical measurements of strength in stroke subjects are usually performed and
portable dynamometers are one of the most employed instruments. Objective To verify the …

Background: Grip strength, commonly evaluated with the handgrip dynamometer, is a good
indicator of upper limb (UL) function in stroke subjects and may reflect the global strength …

[Purpose] No literature has described a suitable method for measuring muscle strength in a
supine position during acute phase after stroke. This study investigated the feasibility and …

Introduction: Weakness of the lower limb muscles, which are the main impairments after
stroke, is associated with reduced mobility and decreased performance in functional tasks …

Aim This study aimed at examining the reliability of hand-held dynamometer to quantify the
strength of trunk muscle groups in chronic stroke. Materials and Methods This reliability …

Abstract Study design Clinical measurement. Purpose The test-retest reliability of maximal
grip strength measurements (MGSM) is examined in subjects for 12 weeks post-stroke …

Background: Muscle weakness is the most common impairment in the upper extremity after
stroke, leading to a reduced ability to use the arm and the hand in daily activities. Grip …

This study examined the adequacy of hand-grip dynamometry for characterizing upper limb
strength after stroke. It involved the secondary analysis of data from 26 patients (age …

Objective. To investigate the test-retest reproducibility and smallest real difference (SRD) of
3 hand strength tests (grip, palmar pinch, and lateral pinch) and 2 dexterity tests (the Box …
