Hand-Held Dynamometry: How To Use For Each Muscle Group

A quick, practical and simple course, gathering information from clinical knowledge and a wide review of the scientific literature, on how to use hand-held isometric dynamometry to assess the muscular strength of all the major muscle groups in the human body.

LEARN TO EVALUATE WITH THE HAND-HELD DYNAMOMETER

Muscle strength is a body function that positively influences people's sports performance and day-to-day activities, whether at work, at leisure, or even in household chores.

Thus, professionals working in the areas of performance training and rehabilitation need to monitor the muscular strength of their athletes, students, patients and clients.

An adequate way to quantify muscle strength is through isometric dynamometers, which are able to identify minor variations.

However, in order to obtain accurate and reliable results, it is essential that the evaluation is carried out in a correct and standardized manner. Otherwise, the evaluation result cannot be compared with normative values or previous evaluations, and in some situations it will not represent the real isometric strength of the evaluated person.

A course that offers the student the best positions for assessments, the best forms of stabilization, normative values and ways to analyze the results, based on a review of the literature and the clinical experience of the lecturers, is the solution for those who have doubts or need to master the resource in no time.

What we will teach you in this course

In this course you will learn fundamental theoretical and practical concepts for performing muscle strength assessments with a hand-held isometric dynamometer in an appropriate way and how to analyze the results. At the end of the course, you will be able to evaluate and interpret results of the muscle groups that work in the ankle, knee, hip, trunk, cervical, scapulothoracic, shoulder, elbow and wrist.
The topics covered will be: Introduction; Concepts; Importance of Muscle Strength Assessment; Test Guidelines; Analysis Guidelines; Materials; Specific Tests.

A practical, quick and simple course on the use of force assessment devices that brings together scientific and practical knowledge, making users of these devices not need years of study to master the resource.

Muscle weakness may be the reason for a person's inability to perform certain activities. In addition, the lack of strength increases the risk of worsening or developing pathologies.

Properly assessing muscle strength can make all the difference in the training or recovery of athletes, students, patients and clients.
