Normative reference values for knee extension strength obtained by hand-held dynamometry from adults 60 to 79 years were derived using summary data from 3 studies. The studies, which were identified through PubMed and a hand-search, contributed data from between 3 and 29 individuals for each age, gender, and side stratum. Meta-analysis was employed to consolidate knee extension strength data. Strength, normalized against body weight, ranged 35.6% for the nondominant side of 70 to 79 year old women to 48.8% for the nondominant side of 60 to 69 year old men. These values are more informative than those previously published in individual studies. However, reference values derived from a large population-based sample are needed.
通过手持测力计得出的60至79岁成年人膝关节伸展力量的规范参考值,是利用3项研究的汇总数据得出的。这些研究是通过PubMed和手工检索确定的,为每个年龄、性别和侧别层次贡献了3至29人的数据。采用荟萃分析来整合膝关节伸展力量数据。相对于体重进行标准化后的力量,在70至79岁女性非优势侧为35.6%,在60至69岁男性非优势侧为48.8%。这些数值比之前在个别研究中公布的数值更具参考价值。然而,仍需要从大量基于人群的样本中得出参考值。
