Hand-held dynamometry is a specifically designed portable device for assessing and measuring the strength of an individual muscle or movement. We apply it to both our patient's injured and uninjured sides as a relative comparison as well as with the normative values available through scientific research. Measurements are obtained by applying force against force pad that is held by the tester.
