APRESENTAÇÃO:
set. 2010 ABSTRACT: There is a great variety of instruments available for evaluating hand grip
strength. There is, however, a lack of studies showing the validity and reliability of most
ACEITO PARA PUBLICAÇÃO: of these instruments. The purpose of this study was to examine the concurrent validity
fev. 2011 and test–retest reliability of the hydraulic Saehan dynamometer using the hydraulic
Jamar dynamometer. One hundred healthy subjects (50 men and 50 women), between
FONTE DE FINANCIAMENTO: the ages of 20 and 50 years old, without cognitive impairment, physical disability,
nenhuma
neuromuscular or orthopedic dysfunction, and history of upper extremity injuries
Conflito de interesse: were tested with the Jamar and Saehan dynamometers. The concurrent validity
Nada a declarar between the Jamar and the Saehan dynamometers was excellent for both the right
hand (r=0.976) and the left hand (r=0.986). Test–retest reliability was excellent for
both the Jamar (r=0.985 right and left hands) and the Saehan (r=0.981 right hand
and r=0.985 left hand). The Saehan dynamometer is valid, reliable and comparable
to the Jamar dynamometer. Therefore, the Jamar and Saehan dynamometers measure
handgrip strength equivalently. As a result, strength values obtained with the Saehan
dynamometer can be compared with reference values which were collected with
the Jamar dynamometer.
