Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Muscle strength is measured to quantify decrease and to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation programs. Muscle strength can reliable be measured with hand-held dynamometry. Recently we conducted a study in which muscle strength of elderly subjects was measured at two separate occasions. We found systematic differences between measurement day one and measurement day two. The results of measurement day two were systematic higher compared to day one. This finding was also reported in comparable studies. It is unclear how often muscle strength measurements should be repeated to obtain a reliable and valid maximal muscle strength measurement. The Netherlands

Onderzoeksopzet
Muscle strength of the M. Quadriceps will be measured at 5 successive occasions with 1 day between each measurement. At each occasion muscle strength will be measured 5 times with one minute in between.
