In the present study, the reliability of Hand Held Dynamometer measurements on ankle dorsiflexion strength was examined, and changes in the muscle strength due to aging or diseases were also investigated. Thirty healthy subjects performed isometric muscle contraction using Hand Held Dynamometer, and reproducibility and reliability of the measurement ranged from 4.2 to 5.4%. However, the reliability was high in the measurements by several different examiners who had understood the method. There was a slight but significant correlation between ankle dorsiflexion strength and aging. No significant difference in the muscle strength was observed between subjects aged over 30 years and those under 30 years, which suggests that changes in the muscle strength may not be much influenced by aging. A significant decrease in the muscle strength was obseraved in patients with low back pain, or hip/knee joint diseases, and hemiplegic patients. Quantification and clinical application of their typical changes in muscle strength are considered meaningful.
