Abstract

Objectives: The Micro Manual Muscle Tester (MMMT) is a Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD). The current study aimed to evaluate the intra-and inter-rater Reliability of this device. Methods: To determine the Reliability of the MMMT, two previously trained assessors to work with HHD performed HHD measurements on 7 muscle groups of the lower extremities (hip flexors, hip extensors, hip abductors, knee extensors, knee flexors, ankle plantar-, and dorsiflexors) using the make-test method. The study participants were evaluated thrice by two occupational therapists in 10 separate days. Results: All the inter-and intra-correlations were reported as excellent (ICC>0. 90), except for ICC2, 3 in the hip flexor Muscles; and ICC2, 3 in the dorsiflexor Muscles that were similarly good (ICC=0. 75-0. 89) at a high significance level (P˂ 0. 001). Discussion: The MMMT had an acceptable Reliability. Furthermore, this device is useful for investigating changes in strength after rehabilitation interventions.
