Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD | Source: | CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE, 14(3), p. 289-297 | Abstract: | This study investigated the validity and reliability of fixed strain gauge measurements of isometric quadriceps force in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A total cohort of 138 patients with COPD were assessed. To determine validity, maximal volitional quadriceps force was evaluated during isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) manoeuvre via a fixed strain gauge dynamometer and compared to (a) potentiated non-volitional quadriceps force obtained via magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve (twitch (Tw); n = 92) and (b) volitional computerized dynamometry (Biodex; n = 46) and analysed via correlation coefficients. Test-retest and absolute reliability were determined via calculations of intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs), smallest real differences (SRDs) and standard errors of measurement (SEMs). For this, MVC recordings in each device were performed across two test sessions separated by a period of 7 days (n = 46). Strain gauge measures of MVC demonstrated very large correlation with Tw and Biodex results (r = 0.86 and 0.88, respectively, both p < 0.0001). ICC, SEM and SRD were numerically comparable between strain gauge and Biodex devices (ICC = 0.96 vs. 0.93; SEM = 8.50 vs. 10.54 N<bold>m and SRD </bold>= 23.59 vs. 29.22 N<bold>m</bold>, respectively). The results support that strain gauge measures of quadriceps force are valid and reliable in patients with COPD. | Notes: | [Rodrigues, Fernanda Machado; Demeyer, Heleen; Hornikx, Miek; Camillo, Carlos Augusto; Troosters, Thierry; Osadnik, Christian] KU Leuven Univ Leuven, Dept Rehabil Sci, Leuven, Belgium.
