Interrater reliability of a modified Ashworth scale of muscle spasticity.
TLDR
The relationship between the raters' judgments was significant and the reliability was good, and it is believed these results to be positive enough to encourage further trials of the modified Ashworth scale for grading spasticity.

Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20-79 years: reference values and determinants.
TLDR
Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.

Reference Values for the Timed Up and Go Test: A Descriptive Meta‐Analysis
TLDR
The reference values presented, though obtained from studies with clear differences, provide a standard to which patient performance can be compared, and patients whose performance exceeds the upper limit of reported confidence intervals can be considered to have worse than average performance.

Clinical measurement of range of motion. Review of goniometry emphasizing reliability and validity.
TLDR
Clinicians should adopt standardized methods of testing and should interpret and report goniometric results as ROM measurements only, not as measurements of factors that may affect ROM, to improve the reliability and validity of goniometry.

Hand‐Grip Dynamometry Predicts Future Outcomes in Aging Adults
TLDR
Low grip strength was shown consistently to be associated with a greater likelihood of premature mortality, the development of disability, and an increased risk of complications or prolonged length of stay after hospitalization or surgery.

Test-retest reliability of hand-held dynamometry during a single session of strength assessment.
TLDR
The results suggest that hand-held dynamometry can be a reliable assessment technique when practiced by a single experienced tester.

Reference Values for the Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand Test: A Descriptive Meta-Analysis of Data from Elders
TLDR
This meta-analysis indicated that judgments about normal performance should be based on age, and individuals with times for 5 repetitions of this test exceeding the following can be considered to have worse than average performance.

Normative values for isometric muscle force measurements obtained with hand-held dynamometers.
TLDR
Gender, age, and weight were identified as independent predictors of force for all muscle actions on both the dominant and nondominant sides and may allow clinicians who follow the described testing protocol to estimate the severity of force-generating impairments in patients aged 50 to 79 years.

Hand Grip Strength: age and gender stratified normative data in a population-based study
TLDR
This population demonstrated higher BMI and lower grip strength in younger participants than much of the international published, population data; and the age and gender grip strength values are lower in younger adults than those reported in international literature.
