“…18 Evidence suggests that gender, age, weight, height and dominant side influence HGS results. 19,20 There was no difference in the mean HGS values among hypertensive subjects of the present study and those described by Benedetti et al 21 in a study of active elderly persons in Santa Catarina. While a study by Fernandes et al 22 reported higher values than those found in the present study, it was conducted exclusively with males with a lower mean age (58.7 years compared to 71.5 years).…”

Introduction: Handgrip is an excellent indicator of functionality, nutritional status and mortality among the elderly. Objective: To compare the handgrip strength of hypertensive elderly individuals classified by different levels and types of physical activity. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 80 individuals divided into three physical activity groups, according to the leisure-time and transportation sections of the long version of the IPAQ: active (≥150 min/week), insufficiently active (<150 min/ week) and sedentary (10 min/week). The active individuals were also separated by type of physical activity: gymnastics, hydro gymnastics and weight training. Strength was measured by a Jamar dynamometer and consisted of a continuous handgrip movement lasting for 30 seconds. Information about demographic, socio-economic and behavioral variables was collected by questionnaire. ANOVA and paired t-test were used to compare the means of strength. The significance level was 5%. Results: Dominant and non-dominant handgrip average was 24.2 kgf (+8.3) and 22.0 kgf (+7.3), respectively. There was no significant difference in the mean handgrip strength between the active and sedentary groups; however, when the type of physical activity was evaluated, the weightlifting group had a significantly higher mean than the gym and aerobics groups. Conclusion: Handgrip strength seems to be associated with the type of activity performed, rather than the amount of time the activity is performed per week.

“…Como indicador de força e potência muscular uma das maneiras mais práticas e objetivas é a mensuração da força de preensão manual (FPM) aferida através de dinamômetro manual. A mesma é validada e utilizada como estratificação de risco em idosos 12,13 . Embora haja necessidade de mais estudos para delinear as principais limitações físicas dos pacientes submetidos à diálise crônica, já se sabe que todos eles devem ser aconselhados a aumentar seu nível de atividade física, começando sempre de um nível baixo, conforme tolerado, em três ou mais dias da semana 14,15 .…”

“…Também se deve manter o ombro posicionado em adução e rotação neutra com cotovelo flexionado a 90º e antebraço em meia pronação com punho neutro. O punho pode ser movimentado em até 30° graus de extensão e o braço deve ser mantido suspenso no ar com a mão posicionada no dinamômetro sendo este sustentado pelo examinador 21,22 . Em relação aos membros inferiores, foi permitido que os pacientes ficassem com o joelho em extensão, de maneira que a posição da extremidade inferior do corpo não interferisse no teste de força 12 .…”

Background: Given the variety of available hand-held dynamometers and their different handle shapes, reliability studies are needed.Objectives: To compare the accuracy and reliability between three different hand-held dynamometers and analyze the influence of their handles on grip strength. Methods: The tests were performed with the Jamar ® dynamometer, the Takei ® dynamometer and the EMG System Manual Transducer with modified handle. Eighteen healthy volunteers aged 20.0±1.3 years without history of musculoskeletal disorders or trauma in the evaluated limbs were included. Data normality was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test. To verify possible differences between the dynamometers, repeated measures ANOVA was administered, followed by Tukey post-hoc tests. Reliability between measurements was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and agreement was tested using Bland and Altman plots. The dynamometers calibration process was evaluated using linear regressions. Results: We observed statistically significant differences on the female group between the Jamar ® and the Takei ® dynamometers (females p<0.001 and males p=0.022) and the EMG System Manual Transducer (female p<0.001 and males p=0.007). However, the Takei ® dymamometer and the EMG System Manual Transducer were similar for both female (p=0.161) and male groups (p=0.850). Although acceptable values of intraclass correlation coefficients between measurements were identified, low agreement between the Jamar ® dynamometer and all other instruments was found. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that there is an influence of the dynamometer's handle shapes on the measurements of grip strength. Furthermore, the results demonstrated the need for previous calibration of this type of instrument.Keywords: dynamometer; grip strength; physical therapy. ResumoContextualização: Dada a variedade de dinamômetros disponíveis para mensurar a força de preensão manual com diferentes formatos de empunhaduras, estudos de confiabilidade fazem-se necessários. Objetivos: Comparar a exatidão e a precisão das medidas de três dinamômetros distintos e analisar a influência do perfil de empunhadura de cada um. Métodos: Os testes foram realizados com os dinamômetros Jamar ® , Takei ® e o Transdutor Manual EMG System com empunhadura modificada. Foram avaliados 18 voluntários saudáveis, com idade de 20±1,3 anos, sem histórico de doença musculoesquelética ou traumas nos membros avaliados. A normalidade dos dados foi testada por meio do teste Shapiro-Wilk. Para verificar as possíveis diferenças entre as medições dos dinamômetros, aplicou-se uma ANOVA para medidas repetidas seguida do post-hoc de Tukey. A confiabilidade entre as medidas foi avaliada por meio do Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse (CCI), e a concordância foi testada utilizando o procedimento de Bland e Altman. Para o procedimento de calibração dos dinamômetros, procedeu-se à análise de regressão linear e de covariância. Resultados: Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa entre o dinam...
