摘要：
We have assessed the reliability of hand-held myometry in 33 patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), testing elbow flexion, handgrip, three-point pinch, knee flexion, knee extension, and foot dorsiflexion, and determining intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Interrater reliability was high for upper limbs, with an ICC of 0.92 for three-point pinch and 0.98 for elbow flexion and grip. For lower limbs interrater reliability was good with ICC>0.85 for all measures except foot dorsiflexion. Test-retest results were excellent with ICC >0.91 in all instances. Hand-held myometry is easily performed in SMA patients of various ages and muscle strengths, is a reliable measure of limb muscle strength, and can be used in longitudinal studies and clinical trials.
