Aim The present study compared the performance of the Jamar and Smedley dynamometers
for the measurement of grip strength, and the two dynamometers were used to determine the …

Background. Weakness is common and contributes to disability, but no consensus exists
regarding a strength cutpoint to identify persons at high risk. This analysis, conducted as part …

Grip strength (GS) is widely used in various fields such as sports, rehabilitation, and
geriatrics to assess muscle strength, and to diagnose sarcopenia and frailty in older adults …

Background Among older adults, decreased handgrip strength is associated with greater
risk of frailty, and loss of physical function, mobility, lean mass, and overall muscular strength …

Background Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple, quick, inexpensive, and highly reliable
method for the assessment of muscle strength in clinical practice and epidemiological …

The aim was to determine the validity and usefulness of hand-held dynamometry for
measuring muscle strength in independent community-dwelling older persons. Cross …

A systematic review was performed to summarize literature describing the test-retest
reliability of grip strength measures obtained from older adults. Relevant literature was …

Introduction: The aim of this study was to generate reference values and t‐scores (1.0–2.5
standard deviations below average) for grip strength for healthy young adults and to …

There are still conflicting results regarding the association between grip and global muscle
strength in older people. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the …

Abstract Background: the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People has
developed a clinical definition of sarcopenia based on low muscle mass and reduced …
