Relationship between Muscle Strength and Elbow Extension Test
説明
We examined what muscles were related to the Elbow Extension Test (EET). For 21 healthy individuals, the muscular force required to perform the EET, as well as the strength of the trunk rotators, elbow extensors, and external and internal rotators were measured using a hand-held dynamometer. We evaluated the relationship between the results of the EET and the strength of each muscle. The results of the EET may have reflected the strength of the elbow extensors. Validation of the timing of the contraction of these muscles may be important diagnostic factors for individuals with some disorders in shoulder or elbow joint.
