This narrative review provides a comprehensive analysis of the several methods and
technologies employed to measure handgrip strength (HGS), a significant indicator of …

Abstract Although the total “Timed-Up-and Go” test (TUG) performance time can characterize
an age-related decline of general mobility, this result alone doesn't give any detailed …

Purpose Handgrip strength is considered as important indicator for general fitness in older
adults. However, it does not notably reflect adaptations from whole-body training but may …

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as relações entre equilíbrio, força muscular, mobilidade
funcional, medo de cair e estado nutricional de idosos da comunidade. Participaram do …

Background Human gait is a complex task resulting from the interaction of sensory
perception, muscle force output, and sensory-motor integration, which declines with the …

Objectives: The link between handgrip strength and postural balance in older adults is not
well understood. This study aimed to examine the correlations between postural balance …

Handgrip strength can be easily measured; however, lack of a quantitative relationship with
other force types restricts its usefulness. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship …
