Abstract

Abstract: As the manual muscle testing is not sensitive enough to reflect the change of muscle strength, more and more people begin to use isokinetic dynamometry and handheld dynamometer for quantitative tests of muscle strength measurement. This paper briefly introduced the history of clinical approaches of muscle strength measurement, compared the advantages and disadvantages of various quantitative muscle strength testing, on which the specific techniques of clinical muscle strength measurement were discussed.

Key words: muscle strength, quantitative tests, isokinetic dynamometry, handheld dynamometer, measurement, rehabilitation, review
