Abstract EN

Muscle strength impairments are related to mobility limitations and other untoward outcomes.

This narrative review, therefore, describes considerations relative to the definition and measurement of muscle strength.

Thereafter, practical options for measuring muscle strength are described and their clinimetric properties are delineated.

Information provided herein may help students, clinicians, and researchers select the strength tests best suited to their research needs and limitations.
