Title

RELIABILITY STUDY OF MANUAL AND DIGITAL HANDHELD DYNAMOMETERS FOR MEASURING HAND GRIP STRENGTH

Abstract

Background: Grip strength indicates a patient’s progress in rehabilitation, sincerity of effort and ability to return to work. The assessment of grip strength by means of static muscle effort is easy to implement and requires the use of inexpensive and non-invasive instruments. Objectives: Handheld dynamometers are available in manual and digital version so there is a need to know the reliability of manual hand-held dynamometer and digital hand-held for measuring grip strength. Method:100 healthy college going students (50 Males and 50 Females) with age group between 18-25 years were randomly selected for the study. The measurement was performed with the Baseline manual dynamometer and Saehan digital dynamometer. Inter-rater and Intra-rater reliability was measured for Manual dynamometer and Test-retest reliability was measured for Digital dynamometer. Results: Intra-class Coefficient for inter-rater by two-way random consistency, intra-rater, and test re-test by two-way mixed agreement. Inter-rater reliability(ICC) was 0.97(95% CI) for both the sides, Intra-rater reliability(ICC) was 0.95(95% CI) for right side and 0.94(95% CI) for left side. and test-retest reliability (ICC) was 0.80(95% CI) for right side and 0.94(95% CI) for left side. Conclusion: Excellent reliability is found for manual and digital handheld dynamometers.
