Intrarater and Interrater Reliabilitiesfor a Toe Grip Dynamometer

Abstract: Abstract.[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the intrarater and interrater reliabilities of a toe grip dynamometer.[Subjects] The subjects were 180 community-dwelling people and 20 university students. [Methods] We assigned 180 individuals to three groups based on age to determine the intrarater reliability. The groups consisted of young (age, 20 to 39 y), middle-aged (age, 40 to 59 y) and older adults (age, 60 to 79 y). Interrater reliability was investigated using 20 university students as subj… Show more

“…A toe grip dynamometer, which we used in the present study, has been widely used in many studies. 17,31,32 Toe curl exercises were successful in increasing toe grip strength because they are used to strengthen the flexor digitorum longus and brevis, lumbrical, and flexor hallucis longus muscles. 33 There is an association between the magnitude of the hallux valgus angle and the first-second intermetatarsal angle, 34 and these findings were confirmed in the present study.…”

“…3362; Takei Scientific Instruments, Niigata, Japan), which was used to measure toe grip strength, has been reported to be reliable. 17 The patients sat upright on the chair without leaning on the backrest. Throughout toe grip strength measurement, the hips and knees were both flexed approximately 908, and the ankles were placed in the neutral position and fixed with a strap.…”

“…TGS was measured using the toe grip dynamometer (TKK 3362, Takei Scientific Instruments, Niigata, Japan), using the procedures described by Uritani et al [7]. Since muscle strength of the first toe has been reported to have the strongest association with TGS among all the toes [19], the first toe was used as a benchmark to set-up the testing position.…”

“…However, although toe flexor strength has been reported in various studies, it has not been measured using a standardized method, such as hand grip strength (HGS). To address this issue, we previously developed a toe grip dynamometer [7] and established reference values of toe grip strength (TGS) for adults 20 to 79 years old [8]. We also reported relevant factors that influence TGS in adults [8,9].…”

“…However, it should be noted that research on preschool aged children is of insufficient quantity, because TGS is not recognized as an index of physical function. While the reliability [12,13] and validity [14] of TGS as a measure of physical function performance have been examined, the participant samples included only adults. Few studies involved item analysis on TGS pertain to children.…”
