Abstract
|
|
|
The aim of this study is to find out the relationship between distance from joint axis to the hand-held dynamometer placing site and calculated force during isometric shoulder adductor strength examination using a hand-held dynamometer.
The subjects of this study were 20 normal male volunteers between 24 to 38 years of age, who were students at chungbuk national university, college of medicine.
@ES The results were as follows;
@EN 1) The calculated muscle force were different at 3 different placing sites.
2) But, the values of Torque were no significant difference at 3 different sites(p=0.8421).
3) There was significant correlation between force and distance(p<0.001).
4) The relationship between force(F) and distance(D) in shoulder adductor strength examination was
F(kg)=-0.47 D(cm)=37.94(r=-00.83, p<0.001)
Therefore, when examiner calculating the muscle force using a hand-held dynamometer, determination of correct and same placing site is very important in standard testing positions and procedures.
