Abstract:
Background. Grip-force performance can be affected by aging, and hand-grip weakness is associated with functional limitations of dasily living. However, using an appropriate digital hand-held dynamometer with continuous hand-grip force data collection shows age-related changes in the quality of hand-grip force control may provide more valuable information for clinical diagnoses rather than merely recording instantaneous maximal hand-grip force in frail elderly adults or people with a disability. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to indicate the construct validity of the digital MicroFET3 dynamometer with Jamar values for maximal grip-force assessments in elderly and young adults and confirmed age-related changes in the maximal and the quality of grip-force performance using the MicroFET3 dynamometer in elderly people. Methods. Sixty-five healthy young (23.3±4.5 years) and 50 elderly (69.5±5.8 years) adults were recruited and asked to perform a validity test of the grip-force maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) using both the dominant and nondominant hands with a Jamar dynamometer and a MicroFET3 dynamometer. Results. A strong correlation of maximal grip-force measurements was found between the MicroFET3 dynamometer and Jamar standard dynamometer for both hands in all participants (p<0.05). Although, the results showed that a lower grip force was measured in both hands by the MicroFET3 dynamometer than with the Jamar dynamometer by 49.9%~57% (p<0.05), but confidently conversion formulae were also developed to convert MicroFET3 dynamometer values to equivalent Jamar values for both hands. Both dynamometers indicated age-related declines in the maximum grip-force performance by 36.7%~44.3% (p<0.05). We also found that the maximal hand-grip force values generated in both hand by the elderly adults were slower and more inconsistent than those of the young adults when using the MicroFET3 dynamometer. Conclusions. This study demonstrated that the digital MicroFET3 dynamometer has good validity when used to measure the maximal grip force of both hands, and conversion formulae were also developed to convert MicroFET3 dynamometer force values to Jamar values in both hands. Comparing with the Jamar dynamometer for measuring grip force, the MicroFET3 dynamometer not only indicated age-related declines in the maximum grip-force performance but also showed slower and more inconsistent maximal hand-grip strength generation by the elderly.

Abstract:
Inledning: Muskelstyrka i höftregionen är en viktig fysisk färdighet inom fotboll dels ur ett prestationsperspektiv, dels för skadeprevention. Trots detta saknas normativa isometriska styrkevärden för höftadduktorer och - abduktorer hos damfotbollsspelare. Syfte: Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka den isometriska höftstyrkan i adduktion, unilateralt och bilateralt, samt höftabduktion unilateralt med en handhållen dynamometer hos skadefria damfotbollsspelare. Metod: 29 friska damfotbollsspelare på elitnivå inkluderades i studien. Den isometriska höftstyrkan mättes vid ett tillfälle på försäsongen med en handhållen dynamometer. Höftadduktion och -abduktion mättes unilateralt i en sidliggande position och den bilaterala höftadduktorstyrkan mättes i ett squeeze-test i en ryggliggande position. Ett tillägg av en extern fixation av dynamometern applicerades vid testtillfället. Resultat: Styrkevärden (medelvärde, SD ±) var: höftabduktion dominant ben 1,94 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, icke-dominant ben 1,81± 0,3 Nm/kg, höftadduktion dominant ben 1,61 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, icke-dominant ben 1,51 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, squeeze-test 4,11 ± 0,5 N. Styrkekvot adduktion/abduktion var 0,83 dominant ben och 0,84 icke-dominant ben. Det dominanta benet var signifikant starkare (p<0,05) i både höftadduktion och -abduktion, 7 % respektive 8 %. Konklusion: För damfotbollsspelare var det dominanta benet signifikant starkare i både höftadduktion och -abduktion. Höftabduktorerna var signifikant starkare än adduktorerna i både det dominanta och icke-dominanta benet med en styrkekvot adduktorerna/abduktorerna på 0,83 respektive 0,84.
Introduction: Hip strength is an important physical factor in soccer for both performance and for injury prevention. Despite this normative isometric strength values are lacking for hip adduction and abduction in healthy women’s soccer players. Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the isometric hip strength in adduction, unilateral and bilateral, and hip abduction unilateral with a handheld dynamometer in healthy women's soccer players. Methods: 29 healthy female elite soccer players were included in the study. The isometric hip strength was measured one time in the pre-season with a hand-held dynamometer. Hip adduction and abduction were measured unilaterally in a side lying position and the bilateral hip adductor strength was measured in a squeeze test in a supine position. An addition of an external fixation of the dynamometer was applied during testing. Results: Strength values (mean, SD ±) were: hip abduction dominant leg 1,94 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, non-dominant leg 1,81± 0,3 Nm/kg, hip adduction dominant leg 1,61 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, non-dominant leg 1,51 ± 0,3 Nm/kg, squeeze-test 4.11 ± 0.5 N. The strength ratio of adduction/abduction were 0,83 dominant leg and 0,84 non-dominant leg. The dominant leg was significantly stronger (p<0,05) in both hip abduction and adduction, 7 % and 8 %, respectively. Conclusion: For women’s soccer players the dominant leg was significantly stronger in both hip abduction and adduction. The hip abductors were significantly stronger than the adductors in both the dominant and non-dominant leg with a strength ratio adductor/abductor 0,83 and 0,84 respectively.

Quantitative measurement of muscle strength with hand-held dynamometer has been studied in healthy adult and adult with neurological diseases. However, we have questioned the reliability and validity for measuring strength in non-disabled children and children with cerebral palsy. The purposes of this study were: (1) examining intra-tester and inter-tester reliability using Nicholas hand-held dynamometer for measuring muscle strength in non-disabled children and children with cerebral palsy, (2) comparing torques of shoulder abductor and hip abductor under different level arms when the dynamometer was applied on different positions of extremity, and (3) investigating the validity of Nicholas hand-held dynamometers using the 858.02 Mini Bionix material testing system. Methods: using Nicholas hand-held dynamometer, the forces of three maximal voluntary contractions were recorded for 12 muscle groups from 30 non-disabled children and 11 muscle groups from 20 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The intrasession reliability was three repetitive tests on one day. The intersession reliability was conduct with a one-week interval between test and retest. To examine inter-tester reliability, the three repetitive testes were performed by two examiners seperately on the same day. In the second part of the study, the Nicholas hand-held dynamometer used in our study was fixed on the wall. The contact points of extremity to the applicator of the fixed dynamometer were setting at two third of arm or leg, two third of upper arm or thigh, one third of upper arm or thigh. The force recorded from the instruments was then crossing the length of level arm to obtain the torque value. The torque values of 3 level arm were then compared. Finally, measurements from 4 Nicholas hand-held dynamometers under loading weight of the 858.02 Mini Bionix material testing system were obtained. Differences between measurement values from each Nicholas hand-held dynamometer and material testing system were calculated. Intra-tester intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for all measurements taken within and across the testing sessions showed moderate to good in non-disabled children (ICC=0.64-0.96). Intrasession reliability of the children with cerebral palsy was also good. All the measurements except that of elbow extension (ICC=0.28, p>0.005) and hip adduction (ICC=0.38, p>0.005) of children with cerebral palsy were reliable between sessions. Inter-tester ICCs for measurements taken in non-disabled children were in acceptable range (ICCs=0.69-0.96), but in children with cerebral palsy were accepted except for shoulder abduction (ICC=0.18, p>0.005), shoulder extension (ICC=0.39, p>0.005), elbow extension (ICC=0.30, p>0.005) and hip extension (ICC=0.39,p>0.005). Analysis of variance for repeated measurement did not reveal any significant difference between the mean torque obtained by using 3 level arms. The torques measured without gravity against and that with gravity against still showed great discripancy. Differences between measurement values from each Nicholas hand-held dynamometer and material testing system were not the same, the differences range from 5.54% to 19.76%. Nicholas hand-held dynamometer is reliable for testing extremity muscle in non-disabled children. For measuring the muscle strength of children with cerebral palsy, Nicholas hand-held dynamometer was reliable for elbow extension and hip adduction between session and shoulder abduction, shoulder extension, elbow extensor and hip extensor (ICC=0.39,p>0.005) between testers. Estimated muscle strength using testing position applied on children cerebral palsy can be compared with the strength obtained from non-disabled and children with cerebral palsy in shoulder abduction but not hip adduction. The investigation of validity examination in this study implies that different Nicholas hand-held dynamometers can not be used interchangeably without scaling.

Abstract:
Objectives The objectives of this systematic review were to synthesise the best available evidence regarding the clinimetrics for manual muscle testing (MMT), isokinetic dynamometry (ID) and hand held dynamometry (HHD) in the assessment of muscle strength in adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) and determine whether there is research evidence to recommend HHD as the standard tool for measuring muscle strength in adults with SCI. Inclusion Criteria: Only studies related to adults with SCI and MMT and/or ID and/or HHD were included. Search Strategy The search sought to identify any relevant English language published or unpublished studies via a three step search strategy. Methodological quality Two independent reviewers assessed the methodological quality of the studies using the quality evaluation tool consensus-based standards for the selection of health status instruments (COSMIN). Data collection An original data extraction form was developed to extract quantitative data from the included studies. Data synthesis It was not appropriate to conduct a meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity of the included studies. Therefore, the results are presented in narrative text including raw data as presented in the included studies as well as the contextual data. Results Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria of this systematic review. The results demonstrated that MMT showed varying inter-tester reliability over 10 muscle groups tested, ID demonstrated good reliability for the shoulder but not the elbow, HHD showed good reliability and validity for the upper limb and trunk, as well as good results for responsiveness and interpretability. Positive correlations were seen between MMT, ID and HHD particularly at the lower MMT grades. However, change in muscle strength scores seen on ID and HHD testing were not always correlated with changes in MMT grade. Significant overlapping of scores was seen between MMT and HHD particularly for grades 4 and 5 with MMT unable to detect subtle changes in muscle strength compared with dynamometry. Conclusions In conclusion, when considering the clinimetrics of the 3 methods for assessing muscle strength in adults with SCI there does appear to be support in the literature to recommend the wider application of HHD compared with MMT and ID.

Abstract:
The study of movement has always fascinated artists, photographers and researchers. Across the years, several attempts to capture, freeze, study and reproduce motion were made. Nowadays, motion capture plays an important role within many fields, from graphical animation, filmmaking, virtual reality, till medicine. In fact, movement analysis allows to measure kinematic and kinetic performance of the human body. The quantitative data obtained from measurements may support the diagnosis and treatment of many pathologies, allowing to take clinical decisions and supporting the follow-up of treatments or rehabilitation. This approach is nowadays named evidence based medicine. In this work, motion capture techniques and advanced signal processing techniques were exploited in order to: (i) develop a protocol for the validation and quality assurance of the clinical strength measurements, (ii) develop an algorithm for clinical gait analysis data interpretation and identification of pathological patterns, and (iii) design user-friendly software tools to help clinicians using the novel data processing algorithms and reporting the results of measurements. This work was divided into three sections: Part 1 contains a survey about the history of motion analysis and a review of the earliest experiments in biomechanics. The review covered the first historical attempts, that were mainly based on photography, till the state-of-the-art technology used today, i.e. the optoelectronic system. The working principle of optoelectronic system was reviewed as well as its applications and modern setups in the clinical practice. Some modern functional evaluation protocols, aimed to the quantitative evaluation of physical performance and clinical diagnosis of motor disorders, were also reviewed. Special attention was paid to the most common motion analysis exam that is nowadays worldwide standardized, i.e. the Gait Analysis. Examples of Gait Analysis studies on subjects with pathology and follow-up were reviewed. Part 2 concerns the design of an experimental setup, involving motion analysis, for the quality assurance of clinical strength measurements. Measurements of force are popular in the clinical practice as they allow to evaluate the muscle weakness, health status of patients and the effects of therapies. A variety of protocols was proposed to conduct such measurements, implying the acquisition of forces, angles and angular velocities when the maximum voluntary force is exerted. Hand held dynamometry (HHD), based on single component load cell, was extensively used in clinical practice; however, several shortcomings were identified. The most relevant were related to the operator’s ability. This work was aimed to investigate the inherent inaccuracy sources in knee strength measurements when are conducted by a single component load cell. The analysis was conducted by gathering the outputs of a compact six-component load cell, comparable in dimension and mass to clinical HHDs, and an optoelectronic system. Quality of measurements was investigated in terms of quantifying, by an ad-hoc metrics, the effects induced in the overall inaccuracy by: (i) the operator’s ability to place and to hold still the HHD and (ii) ignoring the transversal components of the force exchanged between the patient and the experimenter. The main finding was that the use of a single component HHD induced an overall inaccuracy of 5% in the strength measurements, when operated by a trained clinician and angular misplacements are kept within the values found in this work (≤15°) and with a knee ROM ≤ 22°. Even if the measurement outputs were reliable and accurate enough for both knee flexion and extension, extension trials were the most critical due to the higher force exerted, i.e. 249.4±27.3 N vs. 146.4±23.9 N of knee flexion. The most relevant source of inaccuracy was identified in the angular displacement of HHD on the horizontal plane. A dedicated software, with graphical user interface, was designed and implemented. The purposes of this software were to: (i) speed up data processing, (ii) allow user to select the proper processing workflow, and (iii) provide clinicians with a tool for quick data processing and reporting. Part 3 concerns the research study about gait analysis on subjects with pathology. Gait analysis is often used for the assessment of the gait abilities in children with cerebral palsy and to quantify improvements/variations after a treatment. To simplify GA interpretation and to quantify deviation from normality, some synthetic descriptors were developed in literature, such as the Movement Analysis Profile (MAP) and the Linear Fit Method (LFM). The aims of this work were: (i) to use synthetic descriptors in order to quantify gait variations in subjects with Cerebral Palsy that underwent surgery involving bone repositioning and muscle/tendon lengthening at the level of the femur and hamstring group (SEMLS); (ii) test the effectiveness of a recently proposed index, i.e. the LFM, on such patients; (iii) design and implement a novel index that may overcome the limitations of the previous methods. Gait Analysis exams of 10 children with Cerebral Palsy, pre and post treatment, were collected. Data were analysed by means of MAP and LFM indices. To overcome the limitations observed for the methods, another index was designed as a modified version of the MAP, namely the OC-MAP. It took into account the effect on deviation due to offset and allowed to compute the deviation from normality on tracks purified by the offset. An overall improvement of the gait pattern was observed for most of the subjects after surgery. The highest effect was observed for the knee flexion/extension angle. Patients who had initial high deviations also had the largest improvements. Worsening in the kinematics of the pelvis could be explained as a consequence of SEML involving a lengthening of hamstring group. Pre-post differences were higher than the Minimally Clinical Important Difference for all parameters, except hip flexion. An improvement towards normality was observed for all the parameters, with exception of pelvic tilt for which a worsening was observed. LFM provided results similar to OC-MAP offset analysis but could not be considered reliable due to intrinsic limitations. As offset in gait features played an important role in gait deviation, OC-MAP synthetic analysis is recommended to study gait pattern of subjects with Cerebral Palsy. A dedicated software, with graphical user interface, was designed and implemented. The purpose of this software was to compute the synthetic descriptors on a large amount of data, to speedup data processing and to provide clinicians with a quick access to the results

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dynamic stabilizing strategy on handgrip and pinchgrip strength. Exercise utilized in this study was based on rehabilitative approach called Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) - a developmental kinesiology approach. The exercise program consisted of four primal developmental positions (3½ month supine position, oblique sitting position with support on forearm, position on all fours, and the "bear" position). A study file consisted of ten females who were instructed in basic scheme of DNS exercise. They were instructed to exercise at home five times weekly for a 6- weeks period. One exercise lesson took about thirty minutes. Both handgrip and pinchgrip strength was measured using the digital dynamometer CITEC CT 3001 recording maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Three-pinch grip strength and fist grip strength was measured for both upper extremities. Fist grip strength was measured in three positions of forearm (pronation, supination and neutral position). Overall eight variables (for each extremity, grip form and position of the forearm) measured before and after exercise program were compared using the paired t-test. Significant increase in muscle strength (p<0,05) was identified for all eight variables after a 6 weeks exercise...

Abstract:
The trunk is the part of the human body that provides basic mechanical stabilization. It provides strength transmission between the upper and lower body regions. Body control is the ability of the body muscles to maintain the upright posture, to adapt to weight transfers, and to maintain selective trunk and limb movements by maintaining the support surface in static and dynamic postural adjustments. Good proximal trunk control provides better distal limb movements, balance, and functional motion. There are many evaluation methods, devices, and scales for trunk function and performance. 3D kinematic, electromyography, hand-held dynamometer, isokinetic dynamometer, trunk accelerometer are some devices that measure trunk function. The motor assessment scale-trunk subscale, the stroke impairment assessment set- trunk control subscale, trunk control test, trunk impairment scale are the most used scales. This chapter explores the effect of strokes on the trunk.
