“…Reliability and validation of the HHD has been reported in community-dwelling elderly adults, 57 adolescents, 58 and healthy young adults. [68][69][70] In a cross-section of 281 adults over the age of 65, the HHD demonstrated good test-retest reliability and good concurrent validity with a variety of functional tests. 57 Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.84 to 0.99) has also been demonstrated in patients with various neurologic dysfunctions including stroke, traumatic brain injury, incomplete spinal cord injury, and peripheral neuropathy.…”

CADTH reimbursement reviews are comprehensive assessments of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as patient and clinician perspectives, of a drug or drug class. The assessments inform non-binding recommendations that help guide the reimbursement decisions of Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec. This review assesses Avalglucosidase alfa (Nexviazyme), 100 mg/vial, 20 mg/kg of body weight, administered every other week by IV infusion. Indication: Nexviazyme (avalglucosidase alfa) is an enzyme-replacement therapy indicated for the long-term treatment of patients with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) (acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency).

“…As a result, normal ranges of hand grip strengths of left and right hands at different age groups were obtained [9]. Kodesh used a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) to determine inter-and intra-tester reliability of strength measurements during maximal electrically induced contractions (MEIC) [10]. Adams investigated the reliability of tongue and hand strength and endurance measurements in old adults using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) [11].…”

Abstract. This study designs and fabricates a novel integrated digital hand grip dynamometer and analyzes collected grip strength data. The dynamometer directly stores collected data in a computer, unlike those on the market that cannot directly store information. A strain gauge load cell is used as a force sensor. The dynamometer is designed to maximize ergonomics. Excitation voltage of the load cell is 5 V, and a 9 V battery supplies power to its circuit. The signal receiver is National Instruments (NI) data acquisition (DAQ) card that transmits signals to the computer. The operation system is designed using LabView. This study assesses the correlation between variables of collected data. The correlation coefficients for height, weight and palm length were 0.793, 0.609 and 0.715, respectively, indicating that variables were moderately to strongly correlate with grip strength.
