“…3,7–10 RIHM reference values are also available in younger children between 4 and 12 years; yet, there are no reports of similar normative values in adolescents and young adults between 13 and 20 years. 11 This gap limits our understanding regarding the development of isolated intrinsic muscle strength, which further restricts the application of the RIHM among adolescents and young adults with hand dysfunction.…”

Study Design A cross-sectional clinical measurement study. Introduction Measuring intrinsic hand muscle strength helps evaluate hand function or therapeutic outcomes. However, there are no established normative values in adolescents and young adults between 13 and 20 years of age. Purpose of the Study To measure hand intrinsic muscle strength and identify associated factors that may influence such in adolescents and young adults through use of the Rotterdam intrinsic hand myometer. Methods A total of 131 participants (male: 63; female: 68) between 13 and 20 years of age completed the strength measurements of abductor pollicis brevis, first dorsal interosseus (FDI), deep head of FDI and lumbrical of second digit, flexor pollicis brevis (FPB), and abductor digiti minimi. Two trials of the measurements of each muscle were averaged for analyses. Self-reported demographic data were used to examine the influences of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) on intrinsic hand muscle strength. Results Normative values of intrinsic hand muscle strength were presented by age groups (13, 14, 15–16, 17–18, 19–20 year olds) for each sex category (male, female). A main effect of sex, but not age, on all the muscles on both the dominant (FPB: P = .02, others: P < .001) and non-dominant (FDI: P = .005, FPB: P = .01, others: P < .001) sides was found. A significant effect of BMI was found on dominant (P = .009) and non-dominant abductor pollicis brevis (P = .002). In addition, FDI (P = .005) and FPB (P = .002) were stronger on the dominant side than the non-dominant side. Discussion Intrinsic hand muscle strength may be influenced by different factors including sex, BMI, and hand dominance. A larger sample is needed to rigorously investigate the influence of age on intrinsic strength in male and female adolescents and young adults. Conclusion The results provide reference values and suggest factors to be considered when evaluating hand function and therapeutic outcomes in both clinical and research settings. Further study is recommended. Level of Evidence VI.

“…Pasien imobilisasi dengan kondisi kritis tentu memberikan kondisi yang sulit dalam proses pengobatan. Perkembangan teknologi dalam pengukuran kekuatan otot mempermudah kinerja perawat dalam melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan (McGee, 2018). Perhatian dan tindakan perawat ICU sangat dibutuhkan oleh pasien ICU.…”

Background: Patients treated in the intensive care unit often experience decreased muscle strength. Continuous muscle weakness will affect muscle condition and have a bad impact and can cause disability. Health workers can use technology to measure muscle strength. Purpose: To examine in depth the technology for measuring muscle strength in critical patients. Method: Scoping review research was conducted in March 2023 using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and ProQuest databases published in 2018-2023. Identified and selected through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. The inclusion criteria used include muscle strength measurement technology and research participants in critical patients, articles published between 2018-2023, articles that are open access, in English, and relevant. Screening and selection of articles was carried out on the title and abstract, eliminating duplicate articles, articles with full text, according to the research field, type of method, randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews. Results: Identified 663 articles and obtained 10 relevant articles for analysis summarizing the development of technology for measuring muscle strength in critical patients, the nursing implications of technology in assessing muscle strength, and the ease and use of technology in measuring muscle strength. Conclusion: Technological developments have a positive impact on patient treatment, especially for patients with critical conditions who require fast and appropriate treatment so that their quality of life can improve. Utilizing technological developments in accurately measuring muscle strength in critical patients can have a positive impact in selecting the appropriate patient treatment and rehabilitation process as well as preventing complications or muscle contractures. Suggestion: Further research regarding technological innovations in muscle strength in critical patients’ needs to be carried out in more depth because it is useful in helping nurses and health service providers in measuring muscle strength in critical patients, so that it is beneficial for critical patients and provides accurate and valid muscle strength measurement results. Keywords: Critical Patients; Measurement; Muscle Strength; Technology. Pendahuluan: Pasien yang dirawat di ICU sering mengalami penurunan kekuatan otot. Kelemahan otot yang terus menerus akan mempengaruhi kondisi otot dan berdampak buruk serta dapat menyebabkan kecacatan. Penggunaan teknologi dapat dimanfaatkan oleh tenaga kesehatan dalam pengukuran kekuatan otot. Tujuan: Untuk mengkaji secara mendalam teknologi dalam pengukuran kekuatan otot pada pasien kritis. Metode: Penelitian scoping review dilakukan pada bulan Maret 2023 melalui database PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, dan ProQuest terbitan tahun 2018-2023. Diidentifikasi dan diseleksi melalui Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Review guideline (PRISMA-ScR). Kriteria inklusi yang digunakan adalah memuat teknologi pengukuran kekuatan otot dan partisipan penelitian pada pasien kritis, artikel diterbitkan antara tahun 2018-2023, artikel bersifat open acces, berbahasa Inggris, dan relevan. Penyaringan dan pemilihan artikel dilakukan pada judul dan abstrak, menghapus artikel duplikat, artikel dengan teks lengkap, sesuai dengan bidang penelitian, jenis metode randomized controlled trial dan systematic review. Hasil: Mengidentifikasi 663 artikel dan mendapatkan 10 artikel relevan untuk dianalisis merangkum tentang perkembangan teknologi pengukuran kekuatan otot pada pasien kritis, implikasi keperawatan terhadap teknologi dalam penilaian kekuatan otot, dan kemudahan serta penggunaan teknologi dalam pengukuran kekuatan otot. Simpulan: Perkembangan teknologi memberikan dampak positif terhadap pengobatan pasien, terutama pada pasien dengan kondisi kritis yang memerlukan pengobatan cepat dan tepat agar kualitas hidupnya dapat ditingkatkan. Penggunaan perkembangan teknologi dalam pengukuran kekuatan otot secara akurat pada pasien kritis dapat berdampak positif pada pemilihan proses pengobatan, rehabilitasi yang tepat bagi pasien dan mencegah terjadinya komplikasi maupun kontraktur otot. Saran: Penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai inovasi teknologi kekuatan otot pada pasien kritis perlu dilakukan lebih mendalam karena bermanfaat dalam membantu perawat dan penyedia layanan kesehatan dalam mengukur kekuatan otot pada pasien kritis, sehingga akan bermanfaat bagi pasien kritis dan memberikan hasil pengukuran kekuatan otot yang tepat dan valid. Kata Kunci: Kekuatan Otot; Pasien Kritis; Pengukuran; Teknologi.

“…The Rotterdam Intrinsic Hand Myometer (RIHM) is a digital myometer that measures the maximal isometric forces associated with isolated hand movements and reports to the tenth of a Newton. The RIHM has been validated for use in measuring intrinsic hand muscle strength and has excellent inter-rater reliability (McGee, 2017). It has acceptable criterion validity when compared with the manual muscle testing and excellent inter-rater reliability in healthy children and adults with ulnar and median nerve injuries (Schreuders et al., 2006).…”
