Abstract des Autors
This paper provides a critical review of objective hand-held dynamometers (HHDs) in assessing muscle strength in children and individuals with disabilities. In the past few years, numerous studies have examined the reliability and validity of HHDs as an objective method of measuring muscle strength. However, the standardization of testing protocols, which is paramount for the effective use of HHDs in clinical and educational settings, is lacking. This paper compares two commonly used HHDs, the Nicholas Manual Muscle Test and Microfet, to provide the practitioner with the most current information. Verf.-Referat
