- Muscle strength -> solution for stronger patients
- Isokinetic (Cybex/biodex)
- Isometric – dynamometer
- Handheld dynamometer
- Hand grip strength
- Often used for general quantification of muscle strength (all ages)
- Normal values are available for all ages
- Normal is a given age vs ‘weak’ as a concept
- Points of attention
- Aerobic warmup
- Equipment familiarisation
- Strict posture (as per normal values)
- Consistent repetition duration (with dynamic testing)
- Full ROM (for dynamic testing, e.g. 1RM)
- Careful observation (spotting)
