“…Our normative reference values for adults are consistent with the literature. 3,4,7 We identified only one sex difference in the flexibility of children (namely hip internal rotation), and only small differences (2 8 -6 8 ) between men and women from adolescence through to older adulthood. As such, sex does not seem to have a clinically important effect on the joint flexibility of healthy adolescents and adults.…”

Objective: To establish reference values for isometric strength of 12 muscle groups and flexibility of 13 joint movements in 1,000 children and adults and investigate the influence of demographic and anthropometric factors.Methods: A standardized reliable protocol of hand-held and fixed dynamometry for isometric strength of ankle, knee, hip, elbow, and shoulder musculature as well as goniometry for flexibility of the ankle, knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, and cervical spine was performed in an observational study investigating 1,000 healthy male and female participants aged 3-101 years. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with strength and flexibility of children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. Results:Normative reference values of 25 strength and flexibility measures were generated.Strong linear correlations between age and strength were identified in the first 2 decades of life. Muscle strength significantly decreased with age in older adults. Regression modeling identified increasing height as the most significant predictor of strength in children, higher body mass in adolescents, and male sex in adults and older adults. Joint flexibility gradually decreased with age, with little sex difference. Waist circumference was a significant predictor of variability in joint flexibility in adolescents, adults, and older adults. Conclusions:Reference values and associated age-and sex-stratified z scores generated from this study can be used to determine the presence and extent of impairments associated with neuromuscular and other neurologic disorders, monitor disease progression over time in natural history studies, and evaluate the effect of new treatments in clinical trials. Neurology ® 2017;88:36-43Meaningful, reliable, and sensitive outcome measures are required to monitor treatment and progression of neuromuscular and other neurologic disorders. While there have been substantial advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis and natural history of many neuromuscular disorders, the identification and development of new outcome measures that best reflect the efficacy of specific treatments have not advanced at the same rate. 1 Establishing valid and responsive outcome measures is a priority for the field. 2 To assist in the development of new outcome measures, normative reference values generated from large populations across the lifespan using standardized methods are required. Normative reference values can be utilized to generate z scores, which can be used in multicenter studies to improve outcome measure precision and responsiveness.Muscle weakness and joint contractures predispose to numerous pathologies requiring intervention. Reference data play an important role in identifying and quantifying these impairments and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. Currently, few comprehensive datasets detail the normal variation of active range of motion in healthy individuals and are limited by the number of joints assessed, 3...

: The purpose of this study is to analyze joint angle for a range of swing motion derived through 3D motion analysis in order to design the ergonomic golf wear, use it for evaluation method of apparel fit to improve exercise functionality and provide the basic materials necessary for designing clothes. In order to do this, the subjects for this study were 3 men of age 20s. The data for a range of motion of golf swing were collected by using equipment for 3D motion analysis and then were used for analysis of joint angles and evaluation method of apparel fit. Range of motion was derived through 3D motion analysis of golf swing motion and joint angles for items of joint motion item and of X, Y, and Z-axis were calculated, respectively. In order to set the evaluation questions for evaluation of apparel fit, to find a range of motion at the maximal value and the minimal value of swing motion. As a result, during the swinging motion, neck extension, right shoulder extension, right/left elbow extension, right/left elbow supination did not appear. Items of joint motion showing the maximum at range of each swing motion were applied into 55 questions and consisted. The results of this study were meaningful as a basic study to apply 3D motion analysis to the fashion industry. It's expected to be used to design functional clothing.
