Strapped for Strength: A Comparison Study of Dynamometry Techniques to Evaluate Knee Extensor Strength in Inclusion Body Myositis
Strap-stabilized handheld dynamometry of knee extensor strength is feasible in IBM patients and may correlate better with isokinetic dynamometry than operator-stabilized handheld dynamometry, but larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.
