Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Handgrip strength (HGS) is a key indicator for sarcopenia. The JAMAR dynamometer (JD) is commonly used to measure HGS as isometric force in kilograms. In older adults the preferred device is the Martin Vigorimeter (MV), which measures compressive force in kilopascals (kPa). To compare results of studies that use just one of the two instruments, a conversion factor has been proposed. However, there is limited data validating this conversion calculation in a geriatric setting. Objectives: Agreement between JM and MV for the assessment of HGS in the evaluation of probable sarcopenia based on the conve…
