Assessment of muscle fatigability using isometric repetitive handgrip strength in frail older adults. A cross-sectional study
The repetitive HGS protocol is equivalent to the SPPB in assessing frailty and outperforms standard HGS and subjective fatigue measures. This objective method supports the identification of frailty by measuring strength, fatigue resistance and recovery capacity.
