Hip flexor contribution changes across hip angles.

30–45° = more rectus femoris

70–90° = more iliopsoas torque

[Dan Lorenz @kcrehabguy]

Ive had the pleasure of being on a podcast & residency zoom this week talking RFD.

Let me just say who gives a hoot about rate when our pt's/athletes don't even have force in the first place. Just look at the data. Were not good at the force part. Need strength FIRST.

WHICH DYNAMOMETER?
🌟 Brand new, online HHD comparison tool⭐️

Delighted to announce my new project. I felt it was about time clinicians had a resource where they could go to compare all the major HHDS - so I built it!

Free
Useful protocols
Unbiased

Delighted to share my open access paper:
Mastering the use of hand-held dynamometry in clinical practice

Intended to help clinicians simply navigate quality assessment & measurement science amid growing marketing hype & dynamometry device options.

@TaylorEDouthit Hi Taylor, generally don’t use belts for supine. I do cue the patient to hold on to the edge of the table to stabilize themselves though. I find that position is generally more repeatable. I always worry how much help the contralateral limb is giving in side lying too.

Hip Abduction strength testing. Do you test in sidelying? Why?? Check out our thoughts here: https://t.co/wriKV0hpHI

This is very similar tech that underlies our devices. How does IMTP with load cells compare to force plates?
