Quantifying muscle strength is critical in clinical and research settings. A rapid and objective method is ideal. The primary objective of this study was to examine the reliability of a novel device, the rapid objective quantification- tibialis anterior (ROQ-TA), which quantifies the dorsiflexion force of the tibialis anterior, and to assess its validity against isokinetic dynamometry (IKD).
Ankle dorsiflexion of 20 healthy subjects was assessed by 3 modalities, ROQ-TA, manual muscle testing, and isokinetic dynamometry, over 2 testing sessions.
The intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC ] for reliability was 0.872 (0.677-0.949) for the ROQ-TA and 0.892 (0.728-0.957) for IKD. For validity, the ICC values for the ROQ-TA and IKD were in good agreement, with 0.672 (0.17-0.87) in the first testing session and 0.769 (0.42-0.91) in the second session.

在临床和研究环境中,量化肌肉力量至关重要。快速且客观的方法是理想的。本研究的主要目的是检验一种新型设备——快速客观定量-胫骨前肌(ROQ-TA)的可靠性,该设备可量化胫骨前肌的背屈力,并评估其相对于等速测力(IKD)的有效性。
通过 3 种方式(ROQ-TA、手动肌肉测试和等速测力)对 20 名健康受试者的踝关节背屈进行评估,共进行 2 次测试。
ROQ-TA 的可靠性的组内相关系数 [ICC] 为 0.872(0.677-0.949),IKD 的 ICC 为 0.892(0.728-0.957)。对于有效性,ROQ-TA 和 IKD 的 ICC 值具有良好的一致性,第一次测试的 ICC 值为 0.672(0.17-0.87),第二次测试的 ICC 值为 0.769(0.42-0.91)。
ROQ-TA 是一种有效且可靠的设备,可用于测试健康人群的踝关节背屈力。《肌肉神经》,2018 年。
