目的与设计：只有少数研究为手持式测力法获得的肌肉力量提供了参考值。这些价值观对于确定个人力量受损的程度是必不可少的。本描述性研究旨在为10种肢体肌肉动作的力量提供参考值。受试者和仪器：106名男性和125名女性志愿者的方便样本使用阿美特克数字手持式测功机进行了两次测试。结果：测量结果可靠。给出了测量的预测方程。产生的参考值以牛顿和体重的百分比表示，并按性别、年龄和侧面组织。结论：这些值可以在临床环境中用于记录个体相对于相同性别和年龄的健康受试者是否受损。(C) 1997年由美国康复医学大会和美国物理医学与康复学会颁发
Objective and Design: Only a few studies have provided reference values for muscle strength obtained by hand-held dynamometry. Such values are essential for establishing the degree to which an individual's strength is impaired. This descriptive study was conducted to provide reference values for the strength of 10 extremity muscle actions.Subjects and Instrumentation: A convenience sample of 106 men and 125 women volunteers was tested twice with an Ametek digital hand-held dynamometer.Results: The measurements were found to be reliable. Predictive equations are provided for the measurements. Reference values generated are expressed in Newtons and as a percentage of body weight and are organized by gender, decade of age, and side.Conclusions: The values can be employed in a clinical setting to document whether an individual is impaired relative to healthy subjects of the same gender and age.(C) 1997 by the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
