dc.description.abstract | Objectives: To determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the hand-held dynamometer in
measuring isometric gluteus medius muscle strength in asymptomatic healthy population.
Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at the department of physiotherapy, Sindh Institute of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation from March 2021 to April 2021. Thirty healthy subjects aged 18 to 25
years of both sexes and no previous or current complaints of hip or knee pain were included through nonprobability purposive sampling technique. The strength of the unilateral isometric gluteus medius muscle
was measured using a hand-held dynamometer by two raters at the same day and a week later. Pearson
Correlation coefficient was calculated to see the relationship of muscle strength measured by each rater
within and between day’s sessions. Intra–class correlation was calculated with 95% confidence interval and
Standard error of measurements using reliability analysis.
Results: In the present study there were thirty participants studied by two raters, the mean age of participants
was 21.53 (SD=±1.40) years, the mean BMI was 24.05 (SD=±1.12) kg/m2
and 70% participants were female
and 30% were males. This study showed the mean muscle measurement of participants within days was
12.92 (SD=±0.94), with intra-class correlation ICC (2,2) 0.94 and SEM 0.12 and mean muscle measurement of
patients between days was 12.99 (SD=±0.91), with intra-class correlation ICC (2,2) 0.90 and SEM 0.12.
Conclusion: Hand-held dynamometer has shown excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability in
measuring isometric strength of Gluteus Medius muscle among healthy population. It is convenient to be
used in clinical settings and can be a useful outcome tool to assess strength in interventional studies. | en_US |
