一种简单、快速、重复性好的下肢肌力定量方法被标准化。记录了139名年龄在20-85岁之间的健康受试者（77名男性，62名女性）从标准椅子上站立10次所需的时间。繁殖率为6.8%（± 0. 3.4%）。无论是身高还是体重都与时间无关。校正年龄后，体重与时间相关（P < 0.05），但与年龄单独影响相比，这种影响很小。在两性中，时间与年龄之间存在高度显著（P < 0.0001）的关系。年轻男性的表现好于年轻女性，尽管这一差异在年龄较大的群体中消失了。这个简单的测试结果与已发表的关于不同年龄组男性和女性膝关节屈肌和伸肌力量的数据相关性很好。应用该方法对6例典型多发性肌炎或皮肌炎患者进行了连续性评价。在所有病例中均发现泼尼松单独使用或与硫唑嘌呤或甲氨蝶呤联合使用治疗后的改善。
A simple, rapid, reproducible method for quantification of lower extremity muscle strength was standardized. The time needed to stand 10 times from a standard chair was recorded in 139 healthy subjects, aged 20-85 yr (77 men, 62 women). Reproducibility was 6.8% (.+-. 3.4%). Neither height nor weight was related to time in either sex. Weight was related to time (P < 0.05) after adjusting for age, but this effect was slight compared with the effect of age alone. A highly significant (P < 0.0001) relationship between time and age was found in both sexes. Younger men performed better than in younger women, although this difference was lost in older age groups. The results of this simple test correlated well with published data on the strength of knee flexor and extensor muscles in groups of men and women of various ages. The methods was used to evaluate serially 6 consecutive patients with classic polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Improvement after treatment with prednisone used alone or in combination with azathioprine or methotrexate was found in all cases.
